the uncommon rise of RYAn COOPER

Iconic actor and director who inspires you?
I have such respect for many actors and directors. I love that the creators of shows and content are also often playing parts in those shows or creating it for themselves and then because it’s great, it takes off. Brit Marling from “The OA,” Ilana Glazer, Lucia Aniello and Paul Downs all from “Broad City” (and also “Rough Night”).
I also love talents like Daniel Day Lewis for the commitment to character but above talent I respect, people who are good to people. Mark Ruffalo and Shailene Woodley are inspiring not just for talent but their conviction and putting their profiles to really good use.

Your first important role in a movie…your memories about it?
Well I think every role is important to a story…even if you’re a background extra the world is fuller and better because of it. I played a narcissistic sociopath in a very early movie and found that such a great learning lesson to really embody the character truthfully even if you wouldn’t like them if they were a person in your life. Really each role teaches me something important about life or the people around me.

How is your typical day?
It depends whether I’m working on a project. While filming a typical day would consist of an early workout, being onset for 12 hours, an hour on the phone with my wife. Then before bed I try to read through the scenes for the next day, just to get a little head start. Then it’s Groundhog Day all over again (laughs)!
If I’m not filming then I often have meetings and auditions to prep for.
