Hudson Cooper

Hudson Cooper is a professional actor and writer who has played different characters in several acclaimed and popular television series, including “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” and “Law & Order: Trial by Jury”; “Madame Secretary” and “Bull.” Hudson’s early career was as a writer of sports books for young adults, beginning with baseball (Secrets of the Super Athletes: Baseball), which went into 10 printings and led to a similar book about football and eventually 11 other books. A stint as a stand-up comic landed him a role in a movie, which led to recurring roles on TV over the course of more than two decades. And recently, he resumed his writing career as a weekly columnist for the Sullivan County Democrat in upstate New York, with his distinctively wry view of contemporary American life and culture—everything but politics.
