quirks. he can't eat broccoli when its on a plate with cauliflower and vice versa. prefers left handed scissors even though he's right handed. he can't have people touch his shoulder blades, it makes him feel so sick.
aspirations. one of his biggest dreams is to win an oscar. he would love to get lead in a film opposite his girlfriend. he wants to be the cover star of a national magazine.
secrets. he hooked up with his college room mate at a party before he started acting. he has never had a stable girlfriend, just one night stands or short flings.
personality evaltuated. big headed is not a phrase you would use to describe rowan. definitely not. he is as humble as you could be, almost. he thanks his family for any success he gets and says its down to his upbringing and not his talent. he knows he is talented however, he just doesnt flaunt it. he isnt one to flaunt at all. he is happy living a semi-normal life in the film industry. he does want to break it and become a top star, but he likes the normality of life and is a little scared that if he did break the industry this would somewhat disappear. at the moment he can walk through the streets of new york and go by unnoticed, only getting stopped and asked for pictures by diehard movie geeks. yeah, he hasnt had any lead roles yet and only one of the films he has appeared in has been produced in a major studio. but hed rather make his way up the ladder slowly. he thinks he would be able to deal with the fame and pressure better this way. honestly, he would prefer a little more attention from the papparazi, but theres nothing he can do about that other than get more roles.

as a lover he would be caring and kind. he would be, but hes never had a love. hes just had flings or one night stands, much to his dismay. he really wants to find someone to settle down with, make lots of money and have pretty babies with. he would spoil his other half as long as he had enough money to still be able to buy himself nice clothes and nice phones. he likes suits and technology. he loves to look smart, especially on a night out. even when going casual he wears a shirt - smartness is something he believes everyone in the industry should have. people aspire to be like the actors they see, who would want to be a sloppy, messy movie star? he likes to have his phone with him all the time. he is always texting or tweeting or chatting on his phone. he also likes to read the tabloids and magazines. he likes to keep in the loop. he also looks for himself in any gossip columns. if he knows he is being talked about it must mean he is making it, at least a little bit, in the film industry.

father. franklin james cooper , fifty four , script writer.
mother. natalia olivia cooper , fifty one , dress maker.
siblings. lily ann cooper , twenty , full intern at a fashion designers.
pets. one goldfish called bubbles.
other family. none that need a mention.
history evaluated. the only reason franklin cooper called his son rowan franklin cooper was because he hated adding jr. to the end of names. making franklin his middle but dominant name would mean he wouldnt need to do this, but he would still have a son with his name. so, little frankie cooper, aged eleven, was joseph in the school nativity. the lead male role, apart from jesus. but jesus couldnt speak could he? so basically, it was the lead male role. thats what he thought, and thats what his parents told him. getting that role at eleven was like, well, it was a big deal. his father expected him to get it though - it was his script. his father was a script writer, his mother a dress maker. his father had written the script exclusivly for his son and daughter's school and had some say in who got what roles. frankie, of course, got the lead male and, because she was only six, lily was the north star. you cant have the nativity story without the star though so her part was pretty important too. anyway, just from that short role frankie cooper knew what he wanted to do with his life. he wanted to become an actor. unlike a lot of children who want to become an actor or a singer or a model or whatever, he had direct links to the industry. it was therefore quite probable that he would at least make some money from the film industry. high school gave him a lot of opportunity to get more lead roles. he didnt get any lead roles until his last year though, the school didnt allow anyone apart from final year students to have the lead roles. but in his final year he got one, and that made sure his passion was still active.

after high school his mother had persuaded him to go to college before seriously persuing his dream and passion. to keep in line with his passion and hopeful future career he did a degree in drama studies. he hoped it would further his understanding of how to be a good and therefore successful actor. he roomed with another guy doing drama studies and they got on pretty well. parties were a huge part of college and frankie enjoyed going to them. he liked to go to as many as he could as long as his studies kept up to standard. it was hard sometimes, it really was. he would miss some to do assignments some nights but his roomie would go and come in at whatever time in the morning waking him up. thats where the cracks in their forced friendship started to show. anyway, at one party that they both went to frankie had enough. he took his roomie to a bedroom upstairs and told him he wanted him to find a new roomie. frankie was sick of being woken at all hours in the morning. he knew that his assignments were more important and was angry that his roomie didnt seem to care about his work. his roomie, however, got a different idea and kissed frankie. frankie didnt realise, until then, that he was roomed with a gay guy. he should have known, a lot of drama studies students in his college were really quite flamboyant. he just assumed they were, you know, not gay. but after frankie pulled back he told him his concerns and agreed to move out. he also kissed frankie again and now that he had told of his annoyances he forgot about his dislike for the guy and kissed him back. soon after however he broke it off again and ran downstairs. he was terribly ashamed - he wasnt gay. he couldnt be! and he wasnt, it was just a stupid mistake. but he never forgot it. he also never told anybody about it.

so after college he returned to new york and started to audition in as many minor film roles as he could. they werent major films or studios either, he just wanted to get his name out there into the industry. he landed a few roles with small speaking parts. none of them were with any well known stars. after a while of small roles in small films he landed another role, yes, a minor role, but this time it was in a larger film. he did well and a few people started to recognise him in the streets. he loved that. he loved that he was getting known - that was his dream. he wanted to land a lead role though. he wanted to be talked about. whenever he landed roles he contacted his father straight away and thanked him for getting him interested in the film industry. he always said that he was in the film industry because of his father pushing him, even though he hardly pushed him. but he loves it now in the film industry and hopes to really break it.

roleplay sample.

sleep was something which lately austin had been generally going without. it wasnt a good lifestyle factor, it really wasnt. right now he needed as much sleep as he could get as there was a lot of work to do to get ready for the fashion show which was looming. in the midst of dreams that he was encountering there was definitely a high pitched beeping which continued to annoy him. it was almost as if it wasnt in his dream with him, he didnt think that that actually could be the case. of course it was the case and he could no longer keep his eyes shut, he opened them and welcome the world and his annoying iphone which was currently singing his default alarm tone to him. unfortunately he knew he should get up and that he had been late so much lately, so he got up. he skulked into the en-suite bathroom that was attatched to the bedroom of his hotel room. it was more like a small apartment, he was glad his agency could afford to hook him up with this kind of pad when he was working on a job somewhere. the shower was a special one, you just had to push the button and it would start at the same temperature you had it the time you used it before. really it wasnt that special, just an electric shower, but his shower at home didnt do that. he got in and washed, taking extra care of his tousled bleached hair. he often had to change his hair colour from blonde to brown and back for his modelling, but he preferred to keep it bleached. he also often had to cut it, but liked to have it a little longer. he was happy it hadnt fallen out yet, he was pretty surprised too actually.

after his quite long time in the shower he dried off and pulled on some dark skinny jeans and a green printed tee from topman and checked his phone. he liked to think he was mega popular and was saddened when no one texted him. he did have a message though this morning from memphis. he hadnt seen him in quite some time, but thought it would be good to catch up. he replied saying he would meet him, despite the fact he thought he had work today. he had a little while until he had to meet his sometimes friend, he had just checked his phone. he noticed the time and date and realised that the reason he didnt feel guilty about rushing was because he wasnt actually at work until this afternoon today, he was happy about that. he thought back to probably the last time he had seen the friend he was going to meet. it had been around three months ago, he hardly remembered it actually. he remembered that they had met at a photoshoot back in england and that they had gone out afterwards, but not much after that. he wasnt sure whether or not that was a good thing, maybe they would talk about that when they met a little later on. he could do with a good chat.

he decided to set off now even though he was a little early. he would just wander on slowly, he had plent of time! he didnt live too too far away from starbucks, but it was far enough for him to take a little while. he didnt mind being early anyway, he thought it showed he was eager. in a way he was, he was quite excited to see his friend. it was as if there was some awkward air between them, it wasnt needed anyway as austin couldnt think of anything which had happened to make the air awkward. he walked down a long street lined with white walled boutiques and jet black doors with the occasional golden insignia, he loved how stylish paris was, even the shops were chic. he thought he fitted in well, he was pretty damn fashionable too. he wished he lived here and figured he might get an apartment here once he could afford it. he really would love that. he rounded a corner which lead onto a busy street and he saw the familiar logo of starbucks hanging over the pavement, he smiled. he liked coming to the coffee shop. he just didnt like coffee. it was cool to come to starbucks though and there was something he liked, the fruity frappucinos were too irresistable! he approached the door to the sweet smelling shop and heard the chime to signify his entrance. he stepped up to the counter and asked for his drink. in fact, he was quite ignorant in his words. he didnt even try to speak the native tongue, he just assumed they would understand. luckily, they did and he got his tall orange drink. he scanned the shop for his friend, he still thought he would recognise him, and he saw him sat there already. he obviously hadnt been that early afterall! he got to his friend and greeted him, "hey memph!" he hoped the nickname wasnt too much, he just wanted to be friendly, "long time no see dude!" he also hated the word dude, he wondered why he was being so weird. maybe some memories were leaking back, there was nothing too clear though.
