Chris Cooper's filmography includes three of the hottest films of 2005: Syriana, Capote, and Jarhead. In 2003 he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of John Larouche in Adaptation. Though his first big role was Joe Kenehan in John Sayles's Matewan, his more memorable introduction was as July Johnson, the clueless sheriff with a heart of gold in the TV miniseries Lonesome Dove. Many moviegoers thought his character in American Beauty Col. Frank Fitts, a homophobic ex-Marine who was hiding the fact that he was gay, was really his first Oscar role, but he failed to receive an Oscar nomination that year. His filmography also includes these unforgettable movies: Silver City, Seabiscuit, My House in Umbria, The Bourne Identity, The Patriot, October Sky, A Time to Kill, and Lone Star.
