The movie actor, known for his standout performances in Free State of Jones, A Bad Moms Christmas, and the original Bad Moms, has steadily built a reputation as a talented and versatile performer. One of his most praised roles came as the Older Coleman Brother in the Matthew McConaughey-led film Free State of Jones, where his performance earned favorable reviews and helped bring wider attention to his craft. The movie actor also made a strong impression playing Levi in the popular Netflix series Ozark, further solidifying his presence on both screen and television.

Before fame found him, the movie actor was nurtured in a supportive family environment that encouraged his passion for acting from an early age. One of his brothers played a key role in inspiring him to pursue the arts, introducing him to local stage productions in their hometown. Thanks to his natural talent and early exposure, he was discovered by Hollywood when he was just 9 years old—an impressive start for someone so young. He grew up alongside two older brothers, one of whom, Chase Anthony Cooksey, is also an actor, making it something of a family affair in the entertainment world.

Rooted in strong values, the movie actor was raised in the rural Mississippi town of Meridian by a Christian family, and despite his growing career, he continues to call Meridian home. This deep connection to his roots adds a layer of authenticity to the movie actor’s journey—one shaped by family, faith, and a quiet determination to succeed on his own terms.
