Played "bad boy" Dean Zeta In Go Karts

Cooper van Grootel made his big movie debut in the 2019  Australian teen coming-of-age sports drama film Go Karts.

Owen Trevor's directorial venture feature stars like William Lodder, Frances O'Connor, and Richard Roxburgh in the lead roles.

Though the movie got a mixed response from the audience, Grootel's performance was highly appreciated.

He played antagonist Dean Zeta, a strong Go Karts racer and a huge competition of the lead William Lodder's character Jack Hooper.

Taking about his negative role, he stated:

"I loved playing Dean in Go Karts; there's something so fun about going against the grain and doing something different. I think in order to tap into a diametrically opposite role, for me, is that you have to find things that sets yourself apart from the character".

Grabbed Headlines As Nate Macauley In Peacock/Netflix's One Of Us Is Lying

Cooper van Grootel gained huge national and international fame following his role as Nate Macauley in the mystery drama One of Us Is Lying.

One of Us Is Lying is an American mystery drama based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Karen M. McManus.

The series tells the story of five high school students whose lives change forever after detention that end in one of their deaths.

The show features stars such as Simon (Mark McKenna), Addy (Annalisa Cochrane), Cooper (Chibuikem Uche), Bronwyn (Marian Tejada), and Nate (Cooper van Grootel).

The show's second season is set to premiere on October 20, 2022.

Talking about his role, Cooper said:

I actually hadn't read the book before getting the audition for Nate, so I was a little skeptical about the "Bad Boy" archetype as I have played those roles in the past. But upon reading Karen M. McManus's One Of Us Is Lying, I soon realised that she had created a story and characters that completely abolished all the "Stereotypical" personalities we see so much. The characters are so in depth, intriguing and authentic.

He continued:

"So, naturally, the Pilot script was much the same as the book, with a few differences in there too. Nate has so much more to him than just a rough exterior, once you start to peel back the layers and uncover the truths about him, we really see how human he truly is."

Similarly, the 21-year-old also talked about the complicated and unpredictable part of the series.

"That it is complicated and unpredictable. Which is why it was so great to get stuck into the character and story. It was so cool to be a part of a project with so many twists and turns. I must say, the timelines got confusing sometimes, but the producers on the show were so epic to send a well-planned timeline to the whole of the cast to be certain that on any given day we knew where we were in the story."

Taking about his following projects, Cooper appears as Terry Anderson in the upcoming mini series Savage River.

Also, his other projects are the movies One True Loves and Snow Valley.
