And I have thought: I really have to actively start thinking about other ways of making revenue that have maybe nothing to do with movie making.\u201d In part two of this interview with Cooper, he shares his worries about the streaming future. He also remembers picking up filmmaking tips on the set of \u201cAlias.\u201d And he shares how he created the memorable voice of Marvel\u2019s Rocket Raccoon.
