Bradley Cooper on screen and stage

 * Nominator(s): and FrB.TG (talk) 19:47, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I am returning to FLC after a break of a month and a half. I thought I should finish the work on this list with Famous Hobo (who has done most of the work for the list BTW) since I have also written his FA-class biography. – FrB.TG (talk) 19:47, 17 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Support - Looks great.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 19:50, 1 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Support - Can't find any major flaws here. Maybe a keener pair of eyes can spot things out, but this list looks solid to me. Just one query though — "played a dual role in a 2006 onstage production of Three Days of Rain" — You didn't mention Broadway there. You actually mention that "Cooper returned to Broadway for the 2014 run of The Elephant Man". Either you can mention Broadway in the first bit or you can simply say "Cooper returned to stage work for the 2014 run of The Elephant Man". —  Ssven2  Speak 2 me 12:30, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Good catch, Sven. Thank you both for your reviews. – FrB.TG (talk) 12:41, 3 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Support A pristine list. While I was checking the on-screen appearances, I was wondering why the details for A Star is Born (2018 movie) have not been included.... Thanks. Lourdes  18:52, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I guess that is because filming for A Star is Born has not yet begun. It will be added as and when that happens. Cheers! – FrB.TG (talk) 21:51, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. Lourdes  02:58, 6 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Support all good. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:24, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Comments by Mymis
 * "although he only played an active role in the" -> what is an "active role"? Maybe "a recurring role" would be slightly more clear?
 * "His performance in the latter in particular was widely praised, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor, among other awards" -> it sounds as "his performance was nominated for the award", but I believe it should be "he was nominated for the award for his performance". maybe change to "...praised, gaining him a nomination for..."
 * Last sentence in the introduction needs a ref.
 * Thanks, . I have adapted your suggestions. – FrB.TG (talk) 20:25, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Few minor issues: in references, E! -> E! Online, you use screencrush.com twice but with different publishers, and I believe regular dashes (-) should be changed to en dashes (–). Besides that, great job on the article, and you have my support. Mymis (talk) 20:40, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. Also, I just found out that The Daily Telegraph interview was used twice in different instances in the list. This has now been fixed. Famous Hobo (talk) 22:24, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Support. All looks fine, although I think you should give his year of birth at the start. I did wonder whether when you say "x episodes" it would be helpful to say out of how many, but maybe that is not usual. Dudley Miles (talk) 16:40, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

These are the only two points that I could find. Otherwise, great work with the article! I primarily know him from when I watched Alias all of those years ago, so it is cool to see that his career became so successful. Aoba47 (talk) 16:58, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comments from Aoba47
 * This is more of a clarification/style preference question, but do you think that it would be better to replace "a brief role" with either "by appearing in an episode" or something to clarify that he appeared as a guest star? I could see "a brief role" being read somewhat ambiguously (even though it is made very clear in the chart/body of the article). This may be more of a personal preference, but I just wanted to raise this point to you.
 * I would suggest revising the sentence about Alias in the lead to better reflect his role on the show. He was actually one of the main characters (included in the main opening credits and everything) for the first two seasons and then made a few guest starring appearances in subsequent seasons. It may be better to say something along the lines of "although he only played a lead role in the series for the first two seasons." I know it is really nitpicky, but just trying to help to make sure everything is being represented accurately.
 * Thanks, Aoba. Both alterations have been made. - FrB.TG (talk) 17:26, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Support. Thank you for your quick response and great job with the article. If possible, could you help me with my FLC for Alyssa Milano discography? Aoba47 (talk) 17:35, 15 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Source review:


 * Formatting: passed
 * Spotchecks: The NYT refs seems to have gone all wierd. For example, ref 24 (Case 39) - you have two NYT refs, but when I click on them I'm redirected to the same article,, a review of the movie. The bottom of the review seems to have the cast/crew information you were citing separately, so it looks like you just have to replace the double-refs with a single reference to the review page(s). Other than that, looks fine; will promote once this issue is resolved. -- Pres N  21:26, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I have replaced all three double-refs from NYT with the review links. - FrB.TG (talk) 22:42, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, promoting. -- Pres N  22:51, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
