personality evaltuated. there isn't really anything bad to say about this lad except for the fact that he has ambition. since realising that he's wanted to be more successful than his father, he's pushed and pulled strings to get where he is today, but that's not with its disappointments and struggles. he knew from his father that getting to where he wanted to go meant backstabbing, bitching, lying and manipulation. however, his mother had taught him that there was a much more moralistic way of going about things. despite being ambitious, graham stuck to his mother's statements, which meant more rejection and more hard work on his part instead of using means such as his parents' statuses. he's really not at all a manipulative man, it's just that his over-ambition makes him seem so. he will fight and stop at nothing to get what he wants, but if the risk is just too much, he'll gladly take the fall even if it means more disappointment - something he's used to.

a fine fellow, graham is a more than friendly person, a little rugged at times but nonetheless very friendly. he is passed off as a very serious man due to his line of work, and he can be when he wants to be. that's not to say that he is immature, in fact he's very mature, just not stereotypically stuck up won't talk to immature kids mature. there are times when he can be immature as well ( and this is where his "rugged friendliness" comes from ) when you see him at a football games or when he drinks. he's rather open-minded, and loves taking a good laugh when someone stuffs up a line or does something stupid on set aka, bloopers. he'll tease his actors as well and always likes to stay friends and keep in touch with his co-workers. in other words, he's a people person and likes being social and being around people. if he feels lonely, he'll go to the bar and will end up singing patriotic songs with the locals by the end of the night. he also doesn't mind hanging around women. in fact, he's pretty much used to it being the only boy in house growing up after his father left. he's grown a respect towards women and appreciates them more than most men would.

graham is a bit of a joker. going on from having a good laugh on set, he'll most likely be the uncle who cracks that joke at christmas which no one laughs to. speaking of which, he loves children. he dotes upon his young niece and nephew, giving them the attention he hardly received from his father. he's always seen in the park playing football with his younger sister's children whenever he's in new orleans. actually, whenever he's not working he tries to spend all of his time back home in louisiana - he still lives with his momma & grandma when he does so. despite having the money to buy his own place, he can never cook as good as them.

history evaluated. born into a showbiz family, graham was destined for greatness when he first arrived into the world. born to famous hollywood director nathaniel cooper and his broadway star wife caroline, graham was exposed to the cameras and media once he was carried out of the hospital. he was never the one to cry due to the noises created by all the fuss and actually liked the attention came his childhood days. the family stayed in los angeles until his parents divorced and he along with his sister moved with their mother to new orleans to live with their eccentric and loving grandma. of course being a famous director, their father was hardly around and could barely visit the children. the only way he could make up in missing their birthdays and special holidays was by simply flying them over to visit him and taking them to movie premiers wherever he was around the country. however, this only occurred every once in a blue moon until it eventually stopped when graham was about ten.

life continued in new orleans, with his mother managing to live the low-key lifestyle while his father's head was still up in the clouds and now dating multiple women at a time. as a teen, graham didn't shy away from the fact that he was beginning to resent his famous father, especially at the time his father began a much publicized relationship with a twenty year old actress no one knew... until they got married. unfortunately as a family, they were the last to know, finding out through the tabloid magazines. by now, graham vowed not to live a life like his father and stay as far away from hollywood as he could. attending the university of new orleans, graham intentionally had plans to go to medical school and become a pediatrician. despite the wealth his mother had ( his father stopped paying child support of course ) graham knew he wanted to be an independent man, picking up modeling to pay for his university tuition.

in his sophomore year of college, he was noticed by a talent agent and was asked to join a talent agency. knowing well the sort of life that would eventually come if he became a success, graham hesitated at first but was then encouraged to go for it by his mother. she had convinced him that the only reason why his father became the way he was was because he didn't get enough support nor did he have anyone that could keep him grounded and keep his feet on the ground. wanting to please his mother, graham signed to the agency and was immediately cast in an independent film that gain attention from not only the critics, but by his father as well. still scared of fame, graham made sure he stayed out of the spotlight despite being the son of a famous director and starring in a film that was given rave reviews. he kept a low-key life which was also helped by the fact that he was sure to only star in small movies and having small roles on television.

when he was twenty-five, he met and fell in love with his co-star on a soap opera series he guest starred in. her name was caitlin and she was already was a household name with soapie fans. they married within a year however their marriage was not without its issues. you see, caitlin was a spoiled brat and a bitch and graham couldn't handle her anymore. he realised she was too much for him and then she turned on him. the situation was worsened when he wanted children and she didn't, and a month later he found out she was cheating on him with another big name soap star. they eventually divorced, and he swore to never speak to her again. it was then he realised that their love was simply lust. he starred in a few more films and put his focus into his work in an attempt to get over caitlin. his movies were successes and he eventually managed to work behind the scenes, loving it much like his father. now he's completely changed his aspirations and now seeks to become more successful than his father as a producer, writer and director.
