Hailing from down South, Cooper Harris grew up wanting to be a spy. Or a chemist. Instead, she graduated with a BFA in acting from the North Carolina School of the Arts.

After originating a role in New York at the Off-Broadway Cherry Lane theatre, Cooper booked a feature in LA and moved west. She didn't look back, working in numerous national print and commercial campaigns, feature films, stints on several daytime TV shows, and series regular roles in two pilots. In her free time, she produced award-winning digital content for companies such as Post-It Notes, Kimberly Clark, DailyMotion. The entrepreneurial bug stuck, and now, in addition to acting full-time, Cooper is the CEO and founder of a Santa Monica-based tech startup.
