These days, Bradley Cooper's career is doing well enough to earn him his own spotlight on Inside the Actors Studio (his new film Limitless comes to theaters this weekend), but before he was famous, he was on the show — in the audience! In this clip from 1999, Cooper is a student attending the taping of Sean Penn's episode, and he politely introduces himself to ask a question about acting. Watch him in all his floppy-haired glory and be awed at how far the thespian has come.
