Charlie Cooper (actor)
Charlie Cooper is an English actor, comedian and writer, known for his role as Lee "Kurtan" Mucklowe in the BBC Three series This Country, which he co-created and co-wrote alongside his older sister, Daisy May Cooper.
Charlie Cooper and his sister Daisy May Cooper were brought up in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. They used to make films using their mother's camcorder.
They both returned to their childhood home, where they shared a room, and worked night shifts as office cleaners whilst creating scripts for This Country.
Cooper began his career in his early 20s as a model while studying sports science at Exeter University for two years. He was signed to Elite Model Management in London. He grew dissatisfied with modelling shortly afterward and returned home to Cirencester with his parents and worked a series of odd jobs, including positions at retailers Argos and Topshop and in a sausage factory.
In 2014 he and his sister Daisy May, with the support of ITV and NBC, wrote and shot a pilot episode of what would later become This Country titled Kerry. However, the resulting episode was "horrible" and it was quickly dropped. Later he became an actor and co-writer of the BBC comedy This Country with Daisy May, writing the characters Kerry and Kurtan based on their own life experiences living in the Cotswolds.
In 2018 he was nominated for and won three Royal Television Awards for best Scripted Comedy, Comedy Performance and Comedy Writing. He was also nominated for and won best Scripted Comedy at the 2018 BAFTA awards for his work in This Country, as well as winning Breakthrough Talent at the BAFTA Craft Awards. In 2020, he co-wrote and produced the teleplay for an episode of Avenue 5, an HBO series that features his sister in a recurring role.
He starred alongside Steve Coogan in a scene in the 2019 film Greed.[citation needed] In 2019 The Guardian described his portrayal of Kevin, boyfriend of Sian O'Callaghan, in A Confession, ITV's dramatisation of the investigation of her murder, as "a fine performance that channels the role in This Country ... without repeating it".
In 2021 Cooper took on a role in the third series of Stath Lets Flats, playing Gregory - a rival letting agent. Also in 2021, Cooper was a guest on Episode 6, Series 4 of Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.
