The guy was a lady-killer and screen legend in his time, but his always-tightly wound approach to every role indicated to me that's just how the guy was. He acted as himself, and himself wasn't that interesting.
shareGary Cooper. Now there was an American! The strong, silent type. He did what he had to do! He faced down the Miller gang when none of those assholes in town would lift a finger to help him! And did he complain? Did he say "Oh, I come from this poor Texas Irish illiterate fucking background or whatever the fuck, so leave me the fuck of it, because my people got fucked over!"

Tony Soprano on Gary Cooper. I myself have no strong opinions about him one way or the other.

Tony would have found me irritating.
shareGARY COOPER WAS AWESOME. NOEMOJI
shareFUCK YEAH!!!
He was gorgeous when he was young, and tall, but what made him really attractive was the persona of a quiet, thoughtful, and emotionally vulnerable man... who was still a man of action. He played variations on a man who felt deeply, and who had trouble expressing his feelings in words, but who never let his feelings stop him from doing what was right. If only people like that existed in real life.
Wouldn't exactly say I'm a fan but I've never found him annoying.
shareHe was b-o-o-o-ring!
sharehe was great at playing stoic - high noon/the pride of the yankees/sargent york/the westerner. it didn't translate well to all his roles.
