 Fametracker :: Hey! It's That Guy! :: Chris Cooper
Chris Cooper could have been forgiven for thinking that 2003 would be his year, since that's when he won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Adaptation.
The fact is that it may never "Chris Cooper's year" in the way that 2002 was John C. Reilly's, because the reason we need a Chris Cooper is that some American men are still the strong, silent type, and someone needs to play them.
Cooper is so strong and silent that one of his most memorable roles -- as retired Col. Frank Fitts in American Beauty -- hardly required him to speak at all, and even then he managed to out-act the supremely annoying Kevin Spacey.
