Born on May 6, 1961, Clay O'Brien Cooper is a notable figure in the realm of westerns, affectionately dubbed the "pint-sized 'Hardy Fimps'" due to his memorable role in the timeless classic, The Cowboys, released in 1972. Cooper's remarkable aptitude and authenticity as a cowboy earned him widespread recognition, particularly from the esteemed John Wayne, who admired genuine cowboy skills and expertise.
Clay's diminutive physical presence belied his remarkable talent, as he captivated audiences in a string of Disney-esque films throughout the 1970s. Yet, as the years went by, he made the profound decision to trade in his acting career for the rugged life of a full-time cowboy.
With his exceptional skills as a cowhand, Clay soon gained widespread recognition, earning a reputation that was second to none in the world of team roping. His impressive collection of championships is a testament to his unwavering dedication and natural aptitude, with a staggering seven world titles to his name, solidifying his status as a true master of the craft.
