All American Season 7 will see the CW series return to its roots, as it undergoes some major cast changes following the departures of Daniel Ezra, Samantha Logan and several other series regulars. Cooper is one of a few new faces as the story resets to follow a new generation of teenagers navigating high school in LA.

Original cast members Michael Evans Behling, Greta Onieogou, and Bre-Z will all be returning as series regulars, and audiences can expect both Ezra and Logan to make guest appearances in Season 7. The new cast also includes Osy Ikhile, Nathaniel McIntyre, Antonio J. Bell, and Alexis Chikaeze.

Cooper is best known for his role as Cobo on Nickelodeon’s That Girl Lay Lay, as well as his recent work on ABC’s 9-1-1 as Harry, the son of Angela Bassett’s Athena Grant. He will also soon be seen in Goosebumps: The Vanishing on Disney+.

He is represented by Paradigm Talent Agency and LBI Entertainment.
