While acting on the set of Oscar-nominated film Maestro, an elderly man began acting strangely around Jordan Dobson, TFM ’18. It was only when Jordan saw the man’s piercing blue eyes that he realized it was actor Bradley Cooper, playing a practical joke in prosthetics as Leonard Bernstein. Cooper had personally offered Jordan a supporting role in the film, solidifying his rising status as a multitalented performer.
