Just got a call-back for a pilot!

Yipee! I just got a call-back for a pilot! Mom heard the whole audition thru the walls of the studio and I did great! The CD came out and told my Mom that I was truly an awesome kid and was super cute, so we are crossing our fingers. And my Daddy hopes I get it because it shoots with Heidi Klum! The pilot airs in February and I hope I'm on it!

I got a part in "The Emperor's New Clothes"!

I auditioned for and got a part in my school's stage production of "The Emperor's New Clothes"! Award winning director, Terri Miller Schmidt, will be directing it, and I'm going to play the old man as well as be a part of the jester chorus. I'm the only 5 year old in a sea of 3rd thru 5th graders in the play! We'll be rehearsing about 9 hours per week till the end of April, when we will be doing 3 performances in Orange County. Broadway here I come!

Cooper Brown, Little Star in Town!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Cooper Brown and I'm a 5 year old actor and model. I started acting in March 2010, because I love being the center of attention and have a very BIG, outgoing personality. I love to sing, dance and role play, and will perform for anyone who will watch. People kept telling my Mom wherever we would go that I should be on TV, so Mom decided to give it a go. A few months later, after I had some acting and auditioning experience under my belt, and still loved all the hubbub that goes with the industry, Mom decided that it was time to get me an agent so that I could reach for the stars. I had 10 agent meetings in LA and 7 offers from those agents! Success! Hopefully that means that I have what it takes to be in the biz. Cunningham, Escott, Slevin, and Doherty  (CESD) represent me for theatrical, commercial, voice-over, print and modeling. Right now I'm just a busy boy, going to pre-K, playing with my friends, and occasionally making the trip to LA for "work". Acting is a fun activity for me like any other, and just a small facet of what makes up the whole extraordinary me. So welcome to my journey in Hollywood, and thanks for visiting my blog!

If you'd like to book me for your project please contact my agents below.

Here are some of the projects that I have been a part of.....

Joshua Tree

I had a tiny supporting, speaking role with the star, Emilio Roso. Joshua Tree is a feature film and is still in post-production. It's set to be released in June 2011, but sometimes these things take longer than anticipated. Here's a link to the trailer below. I'm in it at around 0:49-1:03.That's me in my lucky blue shirt. This movie has some adult themes in it, but don't worry, I was not exposed to anything scary on set. I'm hoping to get to walk the red carpet at the premier. Too bad I'm too young to actually see my own movie till I'm 17 (i.e. not rated G!). LOL! I also got an official IMDb supporting credit for this role. Check out the link on my IMDb page too, where you can view my resume and contact info!

I AM Human (Campaign Afghanistan) PSA

I filmed the I Am Human Campaign Afghanistan PSA on the same day as Joshua Tree, since it was a really short shoot. The PSA (public service announcement) is to bring awareness to the plight of women and children in rural Afghanistan suffering from malnutrition, particularly protein deficiency. The campaign will bring soybeans farming to the region in an effort to end the starvation. I felt great about helping out with such a worthy cause. Nobody should be hungry, especially children of the world. I was a little superhero, saving the world one soybean at a time! Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of this commercial to show you yet.

Pentax "Action Figures"

I co-starred with comedian/actor Owen Benjamin in this great commercial for the Pentax I-10 camera. Esteemed director, Nick Goossen, was great to work with and Owen and I had tons of fun on set and off. This was barely work at all, since I just got to play with toys all day with Owen and deliver a few adorable glances. That's me in my lucky blue shirt again! What am I going to wear when I grow out of it?!

Pool Safely National PSA Campaign

I starred in my own section of the Pool Safely campaign for the Consumer Products Safety Commission. My section is about pool surface motion alarms and door alarms to help prevent child drownings. I did some really fun underwater shooting for my role as "Jake".  I was so proud to be involved in such a great project that will hopefully save the lives of children. The first link is the shorter television commercial that aired nationally and I'm in the first 10 seconds of it. The second and third links are the longer versions for internet/web site/trade show use. I'm in section 4, "Alarms". There is also a large print campaign for Pool Safely. I'm in the brochures as well as on billboards nationwide. Apparently I have a huge billboard in LA on La Cienega Northbound somewhere, but Mom has yet to find it.

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls 

This was my very first project. It was a spec commercial for Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. I had so much fun on this set, because we got to eat the Crescent Rolls afterward! Everyone on this set was very welcoming and sweet to me and I could not have asked for a better first stab at acting on camera.

The Toy's Gift 

This is my first stage performance with the Children's Theater Workshop. I played Teddy the Bear in The Toy's Gift. Bunny Lawson, the director, and Kirsten, my teacher, were so great to work with. I take ongoing acting classes with the Children's Theater Workshop and started in September 2010.

Today's Tiara's Music Video for Pilot Presentation

Here's the first music video I have been involved with. It's for Today's Tiara's, a pilot presentation featuring Taylor Parks, who was a cast member on Hairspray. My character was "Bashful" from Snow White. I'm the littlest brother in red next to Snow White. I had so much fun filming this and got to know some great little kids in the entertainment biz. I wish the main cast of Today's Tiaras the best of luck with their pilot presentation and thank them for letting me be a small part of it.

My First SAG National Commercial...principle role! Huggies Goodnites!

Well, I landed my first SAG national commercial principle role at 5 1/2 years old! It's for Huggies Goodnites and I play a boy who grew up sooooo big overnight. Whoa! The cast and crew were so fun to work with on this set and I thank them for the big bag-full of balloons that they let me keep after filming! What fun! Check it out!







 Currently...
I have a couple more projects out there that are still in post production, so I don't have copies yet, but I'll post them when I do! I recently played the supporting role of Ghost Boy in an American Film Institute thesis short film called Porcelain. Gill Dennis, of Walk the Line fame, is mentoring the project and I got to work with the amazing Steve Nicolaides, producer of great films such as A Few Good Men, The Princess Bride, Nacho Libre, Beverly Hills Chihuahua and When Harry Met Sally (my Mom's all time favorite romantic comedy). I just wrapped up performances in stage musical of The Emperors New Clothes, directed by award winning director, Terri Miller Schmidt. Look for me in Oliver in Orange County in January 2012...rehearsals start end of July. I'm a very busy boy! Stay tuned for more!
