Biography

George Frederick Cooper was born in Hamilton, Ontario, and attended Prince of Wales School and Central Collegiate. He initially worked as a police cadet before moving to Toronto to pursue acting roles with the CBC. In the early 1960s, he relocated to Hollywood, securing contracts with Warner Bros and Universal Studios. Warner Bros first gave him the stage name Kyle Thomson in 1961, but he soon switched to Jeff Cooper to retain his real last name, as another actor was already named George Cooper.

Cooper appeared as a cavalry soldier in the 1966 film "Duel at Diablo" alongside Garner and Poitier, played a hippie in 1968's "The Impossible Years" with Niven, and portrayed a biker in the 1967 movie "The Born Losers," the first Billy Jack film. His most notable role came in 1972 when he starred as Kaliman the Incredible, a beloved South American comic book hero. This film, produced by a Mexican studio, was a major success in Mexico.

He also acted in films across Europe and Egypt. In 1978, Cooper starred in the martial arts movie "Circle of Iron" with David Carradine and Christopher Lee. The script was originally written by Bruce Lee, who intended to star but left the project shortly before his death. While also obtaining a real estate license, Cooper landed the role of Dr. Simon Ellby on the TV series "Dallas," never selling any property.

In 1995, he returned to Hamilton to care for his ill mother. According to his wife Colette, he became "a private person" after returning and spent his later years in Hamilton learning to play guitar, enjoying nature walks, working out at the downtown YMCA, and reading extensively. He passed away at the age of 82.
