Here is a wonderful Celebrity Interview with Ben Cooper. Ben Cooper is a very dear friend. I had a crush on him when I was about 13 years old and saw him in “Johnny Guitar” at the Sherman Oaks Theater. Ben started out as a child actor, working on radio, in the New York Theater and the earliest TV shows. He has an incredible memory and, ever the perfectionist, learned not only his part of any script, but everyone else’s as well. This ability, of course, impressed the casting directors and everyone else who participated in the projects. Ben has always had a baby face and, even though he was killed in loads of his performances, he sometimes got to play the killer just because it would be such a surprise to the audience. I had a great time doing this interview and I hope you enjoy it.
Ben guest starred in just about every TV western made and was also a guest star on many non westerns like “The Twilight Zone” episode “Still Valley”
