Owen Patrick Cooper was born on December 5, 2009, in Warrington, England. The third son of a nanny mother and an IT father, Owen wanted to be a footballer. However, after seeing Tom Holland's performance in the film “The Impossible,” he decided to pursue acting. A big fan of Tom Holland, Cooper began taking drama lessons. Stephen Graham, co-producer of the murder-themed series, was looking for an unknown British face for this role. Selected from over 500 auditions, Cooper's first project was filmed between July and October 2024. The series, which aired in March 2025, made a splash worldwide. Renowned critic Evening Standard wrote, “This performance is the best debut performance by a child actor to date.” With his series, which aired in early 2025, he won an Emmy Award at the end of 2025, earning him the title of “Youngest Person to Win an Emmy Award in History.” Almost immediately after, Cooper also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor, becoming world-famous with two major awards before reaching adulthood. Lacking the high ego often found in his peers, Cooper responded to reporters' questions at the awards ceremony, “What will you do after the ceremony?” with, “I'll go to school after I sleep.” Following Adolescence, Cooper appeared in supporting roles in the Film Club series, Whispering Hills, and Cry to Heaven. He also featured in a music video released in 2025 and has won a total of 11 awards, including an Emmy and a Golden Globe.

for Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Friendly Neighborhood
Suggested by madyibi2001
Three weeks after the murder of his Uncle Ben, a grief-stricken 15-year-old Peter Parker is fighting a reckless war on crime that forces Nick Fury to intervene. Drafted into SHIELD’s covert "Ultimate" program alongside the disciplined White Tiger and Falcon, Peter struggles to suppress his rage and fit the mold of a soldier. Meanwhile, a ruthless power couple is flooding Queens with volatile alien weaponry, entrapping the Davis brothers: Jefferson, a father desperate to escape the life to protect his five-year-old son Miles, and Aaron, his terrified younger brother who sees no way out. When the syndicate’s operations threaten to turn a local graduation party into a war zone, Peter realizes that SHIELD’s "big picture" tactics will leave his neighbors to die. Defying orders, he risks everything to shield the Davis family from the crossfire—a heroic choice that saves young Miles but results in a tragic explosion that creates the cold-blooded villain Tombstone. Witnessing the true cost of heroism and the failure of brotherhood, Peter rejects SHIELD’s global scope to embrace his true calling as the protector of the little guy: the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
