Cooper Anderson was the product of a very short lived affair between Mo Yuan, a Chinese-American actor, and Paula Anderson. The affair and the result was kinda an open secret, but she never told Cooper who his real father was. Cooper showed an interest in acting as a young child, and he did a few commercials and guest starred on a few Disney shows/movies. Cooper loved it. He love the applause and the attention - something he felt he was missing from his dad who he felt never gave him any attention. His father worked a lot. But there was something different from the way his dad treated his siblings as him. It wasn’t until he was 15, when he found out the truth. He overheard his mom arguing with his dad, and the affair and his true father was brought up. He reached out to try to contact his father, but the man told him to never talk to him again. He was heartbroken by this, but never told anyone about the truth of his biological father. When he was 18, the truth came out. His biological father reached out to Cooper, asking for money. Cooper told him to get lost. Soon later, it was released to the press about the truth about Cooper’s true biological father. Cooper tried to get acting roles after that, but Disney execs didn’t like the press and he soon found himself not acting. He found himself partying instead of doing his homework and almost flunked out of his senior year of high school until his mom paid the high school off and got him a tutor. He straightened up, barely passing High School.
When it got time for Cooper to go to college, he didn’t want go. His mom forced him and once again, Cooper really only got into PSU since of who his mom was. With a new so called freedom, Cooper found himself back to his old ways. He was partying again, sleeping his away around the college campus and auditioning for roles. He dropped out of college after he landed a role in a cheesy action movie that ended up being a flop. Cooper didn’t care, he finally was acting again. After a two years of nothing and pressure from his mom to do something with his life, he enrolled back into college and finished his degree in theatre arts. It surprised everyone that he graduated really, but he found it easy to do something when he was interested in the subject. Cooper struggled to book roles, and lived in his parents basement for a while. A few years later after graduation, he booked a commercial for fastest growing international credit rating website.The commercial was a success, with many people coming up to him singing the jingle. This lead to more commercials with the company. He hasn't booked much since, but now he's living at home, going on auditions whenever he can.
