Film Daily featured Pace alumn Bradley Cooper in "Hollywood Movie Stars and Their Student Years"
Bradley Cooper isn’t actually a rascal contrary to his character in The Hangover. This talented young man graduated from Georgetown University in 1999 with a bachelor’s degree in English. When Bradley was a boy, he initially wanted to go to a military school and become a ninja. When he got older, he chose to follow something more realistic, like acting.
So like others chasing a dream, he packed up and moved to New York after graduation. In New York, he finished the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University in 2000 and got a master’s degree in acting. While he was preparing for exams, he had already booked a small role on HBO’s hit show Sex and the City.
Later on, the success of Wedding Crashers would turn Bradley into one of the world’s highest-paid actors for three years in a row and a nominee for numerous Academy Awards. Perhaps, Cooper made the right call in not becoming a ninja.
