Blake and his family live on a Georgia farm complete with horned Jacob Sheep, two French bulldogs, a Jack Russell, a Pomeranian, four cats, a mule named Holder, a donkey named Diamond, and a flop eared bunny named Charlie Pat.
Joy Pervis of J Pervis Talent Agency signed Blake when he was ten years old after seeing him perform at a local event. Immediately after signing, Blake booked his first "big" audition and landed his first co-star on BET's The Game. Shortly thereafter, he got a callback for the character of Ethan on USA Network's Necessary Roughness where he impressed the room and had them laughing out loud which lead to booking the role.
In April of 2013, he landed the lead role of Chuck in 20th Century Fox's The Maze Runner. After reading James Dashner's international bestselling adventure story, The Maze Runner, twelve year old Blake Cooper related so well to the character of 'Chuck' that upon discovering a big screen adaptation in the works, he took to Twitter to voice his case to play the role.
2014 is proving to be a life-changing year for Blake who has also just been chosen to star as Xander Jaxson, the son of Sam Trammell, and grandson of Brian Dennehey in Amazon Studio's new series, Cocked. An hourlong dramedy, Cocked follows an estranged son (Trammell) who returns to work with his family at their gun manufacturing company. Blake's previous film and TV credits include Parental Guidance with Billy Crystal, USA Network's Necessary Roughness, and The Game (B.E.T.).
When he's not acting, Blake and his three older siblings enjoy doing the Brazilian Martial Arts form, Capoeira. Talented in music as well as acting, Blake plays the guitar, and has won two awards for his singing. He enjoys Queen, The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Mumford & Sons, and One Republic.
A huge video game fan, Blake's current favorites include The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Halo: Combat Evolved, and Castle Crashers.
