You have to respect and applaud Bradley Cooper’s acting choices – not only what he does on screen, but the roles he accepts. TV viewers knew about his good looks and easygoing style by watching him as far back as Alias, but after co-starring in The Hangover, he could have settled into an easy street of unchallenging romantic comedies. Instead, he went for the unexpected – first by starring opposite Robert de Niro in this 2011 modern variation on Flowers for Algernon, then by reteaming with him (and the wonderful Jennifer Lawrence) on Silver Linings Playbook, and now co-starring in Guardians of the Galaxy by providing the voice of a talking raccoon. No kidding. And no, it’s not necessarily a step backwards…
