SCOTT McCLURE COOPER Doctor of Humane Letters
SCOTT COOPER, born and raised in Abingdon, Virginia, and a 1992 graduate in economics from Hampden-Sydney College, is now a multi-hyphenate writer, director, producer, and actor.
The Oscar-winning Crazy Heart marked Cooper’s first foray behind the camera as both writer and director. For this effort he won a 2010 Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature and garnered nominations for screenwriting from the Independent Spirit Awards, the WGA, and the USC Scripter Awards. Crazy Heart received three Academy Award nominations and won two Oscars, for Best Actor and Best Original Song.
Cooper’s most recent project, the acclaimed Out of the Furnace, which he wrote and directed, is a gripping drama about family, fate, circumstance, and justice. It stars Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, and Zoe Saldana. Produced by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way and Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Productions, the film was released nationwide by Relativity Media on December 6, 2013.
Currently, Cooper is in production on Black Mass, starring Johnny Depp as the notorious Boston gangster James ‘Whitey’ Bulger. The film, based on Gerard O’Neill’s New York Times best-selling book of the same name, is being produced by Warner Bros. and is slated for release in fall 2015.
After his time at Hampden-Sydney, Cooper began his formal training as an actor at the famed Lee Strasberg Institute in New York City. His acting credits include the Sony Pictures Classic Get Low, starring Cooper’s mentor and frequent collaborator, Robert Duvall, as well as Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek. Cooper also starred alongside Duvall in AMC’s Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning Broken Trail, directed by Walter Hill.

New College was the result of the crusading fund-raising efforts of President Jonathan Cushing; it is now named in his honor. Begun in 1822 and completed in 1833, it replaced the 18th-century buildings and set a new north-south orientation for the campus. This woodcut, the earliest known image of Hampden-Sydney College, appears in Henry Howe’s “Historical Collections of Virginia” (1845); the drawing probably dates to his visit in 1843.
