Danny Cooksey

Born: November 2, 1975
Moore, Oklahoma, USA.

At age 24, Danny Cooksey is an accomplished actor both on and off the screen.

Cooksey and his mother moved to Los Angeles from Oklahoma City when he was five years old in 1980 so he could pursue a career in country music. When an agent saw his musical act, he was called to audition for the long-running television series "Diff'rent Strokes," where he made his acting debut as Sam, the step-brother to Gary Coleman's character. After three years as a series regular, he moved on to "The Cavanaugh's" where he was a series regular for the following three years. From there he went on to star in various TV and movie roles, most notably the Series "Salute your Shorts" on Nikolodeon, and a small role in "Terminator 2:Judgement Day." Other roles can be found on this site as well.

Cooksey's unique, gravel-cut voice later led him into voice-over acting where his credits include "Super Ted," "Ren & Stimpy," "Tiny Toon Adventures," and Disney's "101 Dalmatians: The Series," among others.

When he's not in the recording studio for animation, he's singing lead vocals with his band, "Lucy's Milk."
