Michael Cudlitz stars as patrol officer John Cooper, a 20-year veteran and training officer in NBC's new drama series "Southland."

Born and raised on the East Coast, Cudlitz graduated from the California Institute of the Arts Theatre program and has established himself as a versatile character actor in both television and film.

Finally, the HBO Emmy Award-winning miniseries "Band of Brothers" continues to be one of the most rewarding experiences of his life.

The new year brings new projects. Cudlitz is very excited for the release of three projects this year: "Tenure," a film comedy with Luke Wilson; "Crossing Over," a film with Harrison Ford; and the SCI FI thriller movie "Surrogates," starring Bruce Willis which is due out in the fall.

Cudlitz currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and twin boys in the house that he built.
