Spotlight - Chris Cooper

In this Spotlight compendium to their Lone Star episode, the Mikes are talking about understated (and maybe underrated?) actor Chris Cooper!

If you've seen movies in the last 25 years, you've certainly seen this actor in film; but Cooper brings to his role and internal and quiet power that makes you believe in his character so much, you almost forget that he is an actor playing a part. From Bourne Identity, to American Beauty and his Oscar winning performance in Adaptation plus more, Mike Field and Mike Butler talk about how Chris Cooper is an amazing talent who chooses great roles that truly showcases what great internal performance can do for a role.

So grab your concessions, find your seat and get read for Forgotten Cinema: Spotlight!

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
