How Dominic Cooper took a leap of faith and ended up with a divine career in Hollywood
In an alternate universe, Dominic Cooper might not be an actor. In fact, he almost didn’t make it into an acting program at all. “It’s very lucky that I got in, because I left it up to the very last minute,” he remembers of his audition to the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art. “I think there was only one drama school in London left taking applications.” Cooper, who had been a traditional university student, had a change of heart and decided to pursue the performing arts. And it’s a good thing he did: The 40-year-old is currently starring in the third season of AMC’s comic book adaptation Preacher, a series that’s equal parts thriller, action, horror, and dark comedy.
