Owen Cooper’s audition tape for the role of Jamie Miller in the British series Adolescence has been released by Netflix. The 13-year-old character, arrested on suspicion of murder, is central to the four-part limited series directed by Philip Barantini. The audition features two key scenes: one with a lawyer before a police interview and another with psychologist Briony Ariston, played by Erin Doherty. Cooper’s performance, marked by intense rage, was a highlight of the series. In a light-hearted moment, Doherty teased Cooper about his hairstyle during a review of the audition tape. Adolescence made a significant impact, with its first episode becoming the top-rated UK streaming show of the week and attracting nearly 6.5 million viewers in its debut week, according to ratings agency Barb.
