Tad Cooley's early life began in Victoria, Texas, where he would later develop a profound appreciation for the performing arts. Growing up in this charming city, he attended Industrial High School, which proved to be a pivotal moment in his journey, as it was here that he discovered his true calling - acting.
Following his graduation from high school, Tad pursued his passion by enrolling in The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. His dedication to his craft was soon rewarded, as he made his professional stage debut the very next year, taking on the role of Billy in the Philadelphia Theatre Company's production of "Tribes". This marked the beginning of a successful career in the theatre, with Tad subsequently performing at City Theatre in Pittsburgh.
In recent times, Tad has expanded his repertoire by landing a guest star role as Matt Daly in the new ABC series "Secrets and Lies".
