Franco Coop (1891-1962) was a highly prolific actor in Italian sound cinema from the early 1930s onwards.
Franco Coop was born in Naples by a noble Neapolitan family on September 27, 1891. He began his career in the theatre in 1916, in the company Lorenzo-Falconi, and had the opportunity to play alongside the major actors of his time. However, he found his true vocation as comedian actor in 1929, when he entered the Za-Bum theatre company, directed by Luciano Ramo and Mario Mattoli. Also frequently were his participations in vaudeville theatre, prose broadcasts of the EIAR and Rai radio, and in TV comedies and plays. He was one of the first actors in Italian sound film, an activity that absorbed him almost completely. In fact, he participated in over eighty films, in a time span between the early thirties until just before his death, featuring character roles, several times in the company of Totò. He was occasionally engaged in dubbing, especially in Spain in the period 1943-1945. Franco Coop died in Rome on March 27, 1962, stricken with pulmonary edema.
