Ben Cooper

Ben Cooper represents a vanishing breed: the dependable character actor who gave his career to a single genre. Winning a Golden Boot Award in 2005 for his Western work confirms how completely he belonged to that world. I have a soft spot for performers like him, the ones who never grab the lead but make the whole picture feel authentic just by being on screen. A Columbia-educated man who spent decades in saddles and saloons, he lived to 86 and saw his contribution honored. Staying loyal to one craft for a lifetime deserves genuine applause in my book.
