 Just how does the actor relate these two professions that seem to be polar opposites? “They seem at pretty opposite extremes,” he confesses, “I loved the solitude of the farm life or ranch life, but on the other hand it has served me well in the life experience that I could bring to the different characters that I’ve played.” An extremely intelligent man, he hopes that the story of Robert Hanssen will remind America of recent events that have been easily forgotten. “Hansen was in 2001. How many people remember that? If we could reiterate in entertainment form how vulnerable and how open this society is, then I think its worth reiterating.” He also thinks Americans could learn from films like this so as to not repeat the mistakes of the past. “I keep saying that this is such a young country. When I talk to my friends in the UK I’m astounded at how they remember their history. They remember their kings and their queens. We have a very short memory here. We don’t have a tendency to learn from our mistakes,” he says, “but we don’t like to admit our mistakes.” Cooper seems to enjoy what he does, and to be doing it for the right reasons. “If I’m going to spend my energy creating a character, I want to walk away from the job satisfied with myself,” he confesses, “that I’ve put as much energy and given the best performance that I possibly can. That’s just doing your job, that’s the fun of this business, that’s why I enjoy it so much. Breach, a brilliant film directed by Billy Ray, is in theaters now. As always Chris Cooper hopes audiences will be educated by this film. “I hope we can enlighten and inform people in an entertaining way.” |
