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.

Scott is a college student whose life takes a dark turn when his mother, stepfather, and siblings are killed in a horrific car accident. His legs are broken and he is left in the care of his emotionally distant but wealthy father Owen. He hires two caretakers (siblings) to help Scott recover, unaware that they are actually a pair of psychopaths who begin to torture him and make his life a living hell. Now Scott's life depends on his long-distance girlfriend Alice, who, upon receiving messages from the psychotic siblings, will have to perform various dangerous tasks to ensure the safety of her boyfriend. "They're Trying to Kill Me" is a psychological thriller with hints of horror and action in the vein of films like "Rear Window" (1954), "Misery" (1990) or "Red Eye" (2005), full of dark plot twists, scenes of suspense and violent action as well as a bit of black humor. Also, the film deals with themes like trauma, family and mental health issues, fears/phobias, revenge and love.
