Keith Coogan
- Actor
Keith Coogan was born Keith Eric Mitchell on January 13, 1970 in Palm
Springs, California. The grandson of legendary character actor Jackie
Coogan, Keith began his acting career doing TV commercials -- his first
gig was as a stand-in in a McDonald's TV spot -- as well various TV
shows and made-for-TV movies. Coogan did the voice of Young Tod for the
charming animated Disney picture "The Fox and the Hound." His first
on-screen role was the smitten Brad Anderson in the delightful teen
comedy cult favorite "Adventures in Babysitting." Keith gave a very
funny and engaging performance as Christina Applegate's stoner layabout
brother Kenny in the equally enjoyable "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's
Dead" and was impressive as Jonathan "Snuffy" Bradberry in "Toy
Soldiers." Among the television programs Coogan has made guest
appearances on are "The Love Boat," "Eight Is Enough," "Mork & Mindy,"
"Knight Rider," "CHiPS," "Starman," "21 Jump Street," and "Tales from
the Crypt." Keith graduated from Santa Monica High School and attended
Santa Monica College, where he majored in Drama and minored in English
Literature. He also attended Los Angeles City College, where he majored in
Java Programming. Coogan resides in Los Angeles, California and continues
to act with pleasing regularity. In his spare time he runs a couple of blogs.
