Clay O'Brien(I)
- Actor
Born Clay O'Brien Cooper on May 6, 1961, and best-known as the pint-
sized "Hardy Fimps" in the western coming-of-age film,
The Cowboys (1972); Clay O'Brien
became a favorite with John Wayne,
who appreciated a real cowboy when he met one. Remaining pint-sized for
several years, Clay could be found in pleasant but typical Disneyesque
fare throughout the 1970's before he left acting and returned to
cowboying full-time, where his undisputed talent truly lies. Clay has
the respect of cowboys everywhere, holding more Team-Roping
championships than anyone and is the holder of Seven World titles in
Team-Roping. Clay's rodeo achievements are impressive by any standard
and this mini-bio can not even begin to cover them. Standing a
respectable 6 feet, Clay and his wife, Beth, have two daughters, Bailey
and Quinn.
