Bradley Cooper (born January 5, 1975) is a film, stage, and television actor. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
After graduating from Germantown Academy in 1993, Cooper attended Georgetown University, from which he graduated with a B.A. in English in 1997. Later, he studied at the Actors Studio Drama School at New School University before beginning his professional acting career on the television series Sex and the City in 1998. He also served as the host of Lonely Planet's Treks in a Wild World in 2000, and made his film debut in Wet Hot American Summer (2001), before landing his best-known role as Will Tippin in the successful television drama Alias (2001–2003). He returned twice to Alias as a guest star after leaving the show in 2003, and he also guest-starred on the short-lived TV series Miss Match in the same year.
Cooper starred in the ABC Family movie I Want to Marry Ryan Banks (2004), and appeared as a regular guest star in the WB series Jack & Bobby (2004–2005). He played the villain in the hit comedy Wedding Crashers (2005) and appeared in the film Failure to Launch (2006) as a friend of Matthew McConaughey's character. Cooper played the lead role in the Fox sitcom Kitchen Confidential, based on a memoir by chef Anthony Bourdain, which debuted in September 2005. However, Fox announced in late 2005 that the series was canceled because of low ratings.
In March 2006, Cooper starred in Three Days of Rain on Broadway with Julia Roberts and Paul Rudd at the Bernard B Jacobs Theater.[1]
He is married to actress Jennifer Esposito. They were married in a small ceremony in late December, 2006.[2]
