June 27, 2005

Bradley Cooper

Age: 30

From: Philadelphia

Actor: He's best known for his role on ABC's Alias as Sydney Bristow's friend Will; and as a love interest for Christine Lahti's character on The WB's Jack and Bobby. See him next in July's Wedding Crashers with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson; also stars in this fall's Kitchen Confidential on Fox.

How he impresses a woman: "I used to want to be a chef. I like to make stuffed calamari with dried currants, prosciutto, goat cheese and leeks, with a homemade tomato sauce. The problem is, when I cook for a date, I get so maniacal, they see my obsessive side."

How to impress him: "Interest in me. No, I'm kidding ... I love a woman who you can go out to a party with and you don't have to worry. She can take care of herself."
