BIOGRAPHY
James Ronald Gordon Copeland, better known as James Cosmo, is a Scottish actor, born on May 24, 1948, in Dumbartonshire, Scotland. Son of the actor James Copeland, Cosmo spent his childhood and adolescence between Dumbarton and Glasgow. Because he was sure that business was not his strength, he attempted to try acting despite the objections of his father, with whom he was not very close. However, his father introduced him to the director and producers of the series Dr. Finlay’s Casebook , in which he participated; James took advantage of this opportunity and never let it go again. She took her mother’s maiden name, Cosmo, as her stage name and debuted on television in the mid-1960s, working on series such as Ransom for a Pretty Girl (1966), Warship (1973-1977), Dick Barton: Special Agent< a i=10> (1979).

A year later he would take on another of his best-known roles, that of Mr. Renton, in Danny Boyle’s film, Life in the Abyss ( nineteen ninety six).
