Biography
Born in Springfield, Ohio in 1867, Cooper's early acting experience came in stock theater, including acting with the first stock company at the Murray Hill Theater in New York City.[1]
He began in films in 1911 and worked for such companies as Edison and Vitagraph.
In 1915 Cooper and a friend were nearly killed in a road accident when their car overturned trapping them underneath. They were evidently not seriously hurt.[2]
