Robert C. Cooper is one of the directors and head writers of Stargate SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis and Stargate Universe, and the co-creator of the last two along with Brad Wright. He became one of the Executive Producers and show runners of SG-1 in its seventh season. Cooper was responsible for several major back-stories in the Stargate universe including the creation of the Ancients and the Alliance of Four Great Races.
He also made a cameo appearance as a writer for Wormhole X-Treme! in the episode of the same name. In "Flesh and Blood", he had his daughter Emma Rose play the four-year-old version of Adria the Orici, and in "Talion", he had his older daughter Megan Elizabeth Cooper play a young Jaffa female.
In addition to writing numerous episodes for Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe', Cooper has also directed episodes of all three, making his directional debut with the Stargate SG-1 Season 9 episode "Crusade".
