Young actor trained in Carson City theater to appear as regular in new Pureflix series
Local actor Cooper Jack Mills will appear as a series regular on the the new Pureflix series "Mood Swings."
A Reno resident, Cooper Jack Mills, 11, has been acting since he was seven appearing in commercials; local movies; Wildhorse Children's Theater and Western Nevada Musical Theater Company in Carson City.
The young actor plays Ryder in the new comedy series. Playing Ryder, the son of series creator and star Crystal Hunt, (One Life to Live) was great fun according to Mills. “Ryder is super smart and comes up with the idea that his recently divorced mom can rent out rooms in their Malibu mansion to pay the bills.”
A fun part of the show is watching the formerly rich Farrah (Hunt) parenting on her own for the first time. “Ryder helps Farrah learn to be a mom. The scenes with them together are funny and sweet.” Says Mills.
This great ensemble cast also stars iconic Donna Mills (General Hospital); Jason Earles (Hannah Montana) and Oscar nominated actress Dianne Cannon. New episodes of Mood Swings release on the streaming service Pureflix each Thursday beginning Oct. 24.
