‘The Blacklist’ Star Harry Lennix Searches for Love in a New Holiday Movie

The Blacklist star Harry Lennix has played Harold Cooper on the series since the beginning. Cooper is the Assistant Director for Counter-terrorism at the FBI. The Blacklist fans are used to watching him lead his task force and deal with Raymond “Red” Reddington. However, Lennix has been in quite a few other roles. Fans can watch him search for love in a heartwarming new holiday movie this year.

Harry Lennix plays Harold Cooper in ‘The Blacklist’

The Blacklist characters have their fair share of love interests, including Harry Lennix’s character. Cooper is probably the most successful in his relationship. He is married to a woman named Charlene, though things aren’t always easy between the two of them. Charlene has a history of infidelity with the couple’s neighbor Doug Koster. In The Blacklist Season 9, this storyline comes back to haunt the Coopers.

In episode 4, Koster turns up dead, and Cooper can’t remember what he was doing on the night in question. He is also missing a round from his service weapon. It seems like Cooper could have killed the man, but perhaps someone is framing him for Koster’s death. Cooper and Charlene also adopted Liz Keen’s daughter Agnes following her death in the season 8 finale.
