Interview with Chris Cooper (Remember Me)

Veteran actor Chris Cooper is always looking for a challenge in his film roles, and in Remember Me, he found one. Cooper plays a tough-as-nails cop who is dealing with some pretty heavy personal issues. He is mourning the tragic loss of his wife and trying to raise a daughter as a single parent. His daughter Ally, played by Emilie de Ravin, meets Tyler, played by Twilight’s Robert Pattinson. Soon after getting to know each other, they fall deeply in love—much to the dismay of Ally’s father.

Tribute’s Bonnie Laufer spoke with Chris Cooper in New York about working on Remember Me, the responsibility of playing a father, and taking on Robert Pattinson in a fight—for the movie—of course!
