Cooper was born in Southern California, where he began his acting career at the tender age of 5, following in the footsteps of his older brother Quinn Friedman. This marked the beginning of a prolific career, with Cooper booking over 20 commercials and eventually making his acting debut on the HBO series Togetherness, starring the talented Mark Duplass and Melanie Lynskey.
He went on to secure a role recurring on the Nickelodeon series Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn, and has since recurred on numerous other television shows. Notably, he played the role of "Dewey" on the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World, "Hudson" on the former USA series Colony, and "Lucas" on the long-running Showtime series Shameless.
In 2015, Cooper landed the pilot Chevy, opposite the legendary Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo, and later booked the pilot Raised by Wolves with Craig T. Nelson. He has also made appearances on a wide range of shows, including Criminal Minds, Scandal, Teachers, and the Amazon series Forever, alongside Fred Armisen and Maya Rudolph.
Cooper's feature film credits are equally impressive, with notable roles including playing Toni Colette's son "Sam" in the comedy Fun Mom Dinner and Steve Carell's son "Bobby Riggs Jr" in the Fox Searchlight feature Battle of the Sexes. In 2019, he wrapped leads in the feature Small Town Wisconsin, which is currently in post-production, as well as the family film Secret Agent Dingledorf and His Trusty Dog Splat.
Cooper's upcoming projects include recurring as Matthew Rhys' son "Teddy" on the HBO remake of Perry Mason, and starring opposite J. Lee in the dark comedy feature ATypical Wednesday, which was recently picked up by Gravitas Ventures.
