Mark Cooper
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper (1992-1997)
  • Actor/Actress: Mark Curry
  • Position Portrayed: We have no idea
  • Played For:: Golden State Warriors
  • Why you should vote:: He was a Golden State Warrior who did not choke his coach.
  • Why you should not vote:: It took him how many years on the show to get with Holly Robinson Peete? That should have happened in episode one.
  • Sorry, here is another show we never watched beyond an episode or two…and that was while intoxicated. However, “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper” lasted five years on ABC, so once again….somebody must have watched it.

    Here is what we can tell you. “Mr. Cooper” was played by comedian, Mark Curry, who was not a bad stand up, but always seemed lame in any other situation. We guess Cooper never saved any of that NBA money (why he should he be different than most actual NBA players) and had to teach school and needed roommates. The two roommates was a reject from the Cosby Show spinoff, A Different World, and the delicious Holly Robinson-Peete, who in the shows we did see, Cooper struck out with. According to Wikipedia, the two characters did hook up in season four, as we can only guess that she decided to trade down from journeyman quarterbacks, however by that time we decided Cooper was not worth hangin’ with.
