Projections Talks Chris Cooper

In an interview from the press junket, Chris Cooper talks about young actors and Robert Pattinson.




Chris Cooper: An Actor’s Actor

by Dennis King

NEW YORK – Chris Cooper certainly didn’t build an impressive resume of 57 films and an Academy Award, plus television and Broadway work, by being a prima donna.

The hard-working, plain-spoken actor takes a down-to-earth approach to his craft, one that’s not surprising for a guy who studied both acting and agriculture at the University of Missouri and got his start in community theater pounding nails as a set builder. Stardom doesn’t interest him; acting does.

Through an amazing run of movies ranging from John Sayles’ gritty, low-budget “Matewan” to the inspirational “October Sky” to the controversial Oscar-winning “American Beauty” to the reality-bending “Adaptation” (for which he won an Academy Award as best supporting actor), Cooper has proven himself to be as durable as he is versatile.

His latest film is “Remember Me,” in which he plays a hard-nosed New York cop from Queens who clashes violently with his college-student daughter’s rebellious boyfriend (who happens to be played by that handsome young star of the moment, Robert Pattinson).

Chris Cooper
"Impossible to Forget"

by Rocco Passafuime

When it comes to consistency, actor Chris Cooper has delivered for giving the most intense performances in the last 25 years of Hollywood film. This runs the gamut from his film debut in Matewan to Lone Star to A Time To Kill to American Beauty to The Bourne Identity to Adaptation (which garnered him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar) to Seabiscuit to Jarhead to Syriana to Breach.

Now Chris Cooper brings his trademark intensity to his latest role as troubled father Neil Craig in the romantic drama Remember Me. The 58 year-old first discussed what motivated him to the film.

Robert Pattinson's Rabid Fans Caused Heated Moments On Set For 'Remember Me' Director

With Sundance still in full swing, MTV got a chance to catch up with actor Chris Cooper in Park City and ask him about what is sure to be one of the bigger movies of the year: "Remember Me." Though the film isn't at the film festival, Chris had a few things to share about working with Robert Pattinson.

"We put up barricades 90 feet from the scene, and the people and paparazzi just didn't care," Chris said about the people who would swarm to watch scenes with Rob being filmed. "Robert was really under the gun, under a lot of pressure, and I know he's kind of learning to deal with it. And it's a lot to deal with."
