Cooper, who's starred in films like "The Hangover," "The A-Team," and "Valentine's Day," is the first graduate of Pace University's Actors Studio Drama School to return and take his seat next to James Lipton for a career retrospective.

It's an important episode for "Inside the Actors Studio," as Lipton has repeatedly stated that after having sat with over 250 celebrity guests across 17 seasons, his ideal guest would be a graduate of the program.

"The night that one of our graduated students has achieved so much that he or she walks out on this stage and takes that chair will be the moment I've waited for since we began the school and the series 17 years ago," Lipton said.

In the episode, Cooper will discuss starting his acting in the fourth grade play to roles in films and television series like "Sex and the City," "Alias," "Wedding Crashers," and more. He'll also discuss his new thriller "Limitless" with Robert De Niro and the upcoming "Hangover" sequel.

"Inside the Actors Studio" with Bradley Cooper premieres Monday, March 14th at 7pm ET/PT on Bravo.
