Background[]

Cook attended the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire for his bachelors. In 2001, he founded IDIOM Theater in Washington.

Trivia[]

  • In an interview with Life in Minnesota, Cook recounted attending a wrap party at creator Seth MacFarlane's house after filming Old Wounds: “We were at one of the buffets, and I was perfectly happy to have a conversation about how beautiful his home is. Out of nowhere, [MacFarlane] thanked me for my work. He said I did a really wonderful job, made the part my own, and it was key to the success of the pilot. I turned to my wife and said, ‘Are you catching this?’ It was a really wonderful moment.”[1]
