Who else thinks Chris Cooper is an amazing actor?

Question

I recently just saw "Adaptation" and "American Beauty", and I knew who he was but had no idea how phenomenal he was as an actor. He is such an underated actor, who deserved his Oscar 100%!

Answer 1

Watch him in the film "Breach" or "My House in Umbria" and he will blow your minds!

In my opinion Mr. Cooper is very close to being a legendary performer and hopefully he will have a serious sit down with his agents and managers and demand they stop whoring him out to higher paying (commercial) roles so they can collect a bigger commission.

Being a brilliant talent is only half the battle in becoming a living artist legend.

Answer 2

I agree! He was awesome in Adaptation.
