Baby Cooper plays a bit part as a policemen in this 1780s Jack the Ripper story:

Sense and Sensibility (2008)

A supporting part in this 1960s-set story about predatory men and smart but naive girls.


My Week with Marilyn (2011)
He plays fashion photographer Milton H. Greene in this story about Marilyn Monroe visiting England.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)
Attempting to follow up on the Pride & Prejudice & Zombies success, President Abraham Lincoln is, well, a vampire hunter. He plays a guy who teaches Lincoln how to vampire hunt. I have no idea.


Summer in February (2013)
A love triangle set among the Lamorna Group, an artists colony, in 1913 Cornwall. Cooper plays artist AJ Munnings, “known as one of England’s finest painters of horses [zzzz], and as an outspoken critic of Modernism [alrighty then!]” per Wikipedia.

Agent Carter (2015-16)
A Marvel comics movie set in the 1940s about a woman who must balance her real life with her career as a secret agent. Cooper plays Howard Stark, weapons developer and father of Tony Stark (Iron Man).



The Libertine (2016)
Okay, not a film or TV production but a stage play, but Cooper looks too great as the titular character in the 17th-century written, apparently 18th-century set play!


What’s your favorite of Dominic Cooper’s frock flicks?
no stirrings here, he leaves me COLD lol
Umm… I think you meant 1880s….
He doesn’t warm my cockles, I’m afraid. Adequate actor, looks good in a wig.
Dominic West, now…there’s a Dominic for you!
The Duchess
Well, Miss Grey had £50,000, not £10,000. Maybe the extra £40,000 sealed the deal. Agree about the tousled hair.
He is nummy, and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was very enjoyable as a I don’t wanna think popcorn flick
An actor who plays Stark realty well/.
Poor Marianne Dashwood – can’t afford hairpins!
I was also going to mention this. :-) He’s a supporting character but a significant one in Cap 1. He pulls off mid-century suits really well.
As I mentioned above in a reply, I think he does mid-century suits very well. He can definitely pull off that kind of sleek look nicely.
He gets the short end of the stick for costume/look in Summer in February, but I just love that blue suit on the woman in the last picture.
This one always struck me as a character actor. I never understood why they kept pushing him on us as a romantic lead. At the high point (The Duchess), it was such a desperate sell, it was embarrassing.
I put Carey Mulligan in the same boat. I never understood why she was in so many lead roles when she had no star power whatsoever.
I didn’t liked him in The Duchess. Although it was maybe not his fault, that the role of a 10 years old boy is given to a men. The wrong age of him and the duchess and many roles more ruins the whole movie. And he never was a politician for me…
However I thought that he would be perfect for Danton.
I thought that he was a lot better in “Sense and Sensibilty” looking young and fency enough for the role.
Too young and pretty for me, but he is very enjoyable in Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, really very attractive………watch it just for him.
Dominic Cooper is attractive. From Hell is my favorite movie out of this lot. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is a completely ridiculous romp, and it’s totally popcorn-worthy. Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond is also fun–think a low-rent, made for British TV James Bond wannabe. I’ve seen several of the other films, and they’re a mixed bag. I haven’t seen his version of Sense and Sensibility, but I bet was perfect as Willoughby.
You should definitely watch Agent Carter! There’s a scene where Peggy tries on a wedding dress and the dress is just gorgeous. Plus Peggy kicks ass and looks good doing it. And there’s Dominic Cooper, James D’Arcy, and the lovely Enver Gjokaj, who I’ve had a soft spot for since Dollhouse.
Flemming’s set in the 40s, hence the dress.
RE: Agent Carter, please do a MCM on James D’Arcy (Jarvis in Agent Carter). My favorite Dominic Cooper role is the lead in “Preacher,” but, alas, that show is not eligible for the blog.
He’s cute but I think your original thought about his height is correct. Keira Knightley is 5’7″ and Hayley Atwell is 5’6 1/2″, and they’re nearly the same height. Both women are probably in heels but I doubt he’s really 5’11. Most actors lie about their height, unless they really are tall.
Yes: he was recruited into Naval Intelligence in July 1939, and for that purpose was commissioned into the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR), initially as a lieutenant; he was promoted to Lieutenant-Commander a few months later, which rank he retained till he finally left the Navy in 1952. But he was actually demobbed in 1945, so he would have had no reason to wear the uniform of the ‘Wavy Navy’ after that. So that’s certainly a wartime scene, and given the clothes rationing in Britain during WWII, I think it’s entirely plausible for even a stylish, well-off woman to be wearing evening dresses that she’d bought half a decade ago.
Incidentally, Fleming gave James Bond his own rank – Lieutenant-Commander RNVR – so if 007 had any occasion to wear uniform at any time up to 1966, when the RNVR was absorbed into the Royal Naval Reserve and its distinctive wavy cuff stripes were abolished, this is exactly what he would have been wearing!
