Great Faces of Film -- Chris Cooper
Something is bothering Chris Cooper, or at least the characters he plays. Something is swirling just under the surface, gathering storm clouds ready to burst. Cooper is a master of conveying the teeming, troubling emotions that his characters rarely acknowledge with words but are omnipresent in those weary, wise, and haunted eyes.
From a Texas sheriff who can’t escape his father’s long shadow (the great, and I mean great Lone Star) to a seething closet homosexual (American Beauty) to the obsolete horse trainer given one last chance (Seabiscuit), Cooper can say more with a single expression than many actors can with a page of dialogue. For that, Chris Cooper, indisputably one of our finest character actors, is my second entry as a Great Face of Film.
