About

Cooper Hinshaw has been onstage since 2016 and now works out of Los Angeles. He plays leads across musical comedy — Nick Bottom, Danny Zuko, Bill — and turns just as easily to the dark end of the call sheet: Beadle Bamford, the Grim Reaper, and this season a lead scare actor at Universal.

He is a baritone/tenor trained in ballet, jazz and hip-hop, tumbles, and is comfortable performing in prosthetics and full creature makeup. He reads high-school age on camera and is over eighteen.
