Early life

Born to a man and woman whom attract no special attention, John Cooley is one of three brothers, and is the middle child. He grew up in and around the Birmingham area. He had one of his first jobs working at a piano store where he was mad funny and made excellent memories there.

His Only Two Credited Roles

Cooley has been a part of two feature-length films, and he hid it from his friends until July 2011, despite the films being dated for 2009 and 2010.

Hunger

Hunger was his first film to have a credited role, where he played the unforgettable part of "Teenage Boy." Drawing massive appeal from his five best friends, he won many awards for being a sneaky fuck, and trying to hide such accomplishments from his friends and family.

All Alone

All Alone is his second feature-length film role, where he reprises such an astonishing performance under the credit "Gallery Patron." Though the movie has not yet had a theatrical release, pending it's showing for a film festival in California, it is no doubt one of his best performances.
