James Cook Jr., more commonly known as "Cook", is the deuteragonist of the E4 Drama Skins.
He was portrayed by Jack O'Connell.
Personality[]
Cook is a confident and charismatic teenager who enjoys hanging out with his best friends JJ and Freddie. However, Cook is also very arrogant, violent, cruel, womanizing, sadistic and manipulative man. He is also very envious over Freddie after he and Effy become a couple. In spite of this however he is a truly caring and compassionate man who looks out for his friends and offers comfort and support to those who need it; for example this can be seen in the time were he allowed Emily Fitch to confide in him regarding her envy and suspicions towards her girlfriend Naomi as well as the time were he helped Freddie find Effy in the midst of a busy carnival and when he saved Effy from certain death. Following his killing of John Foster Cook matured heavily and became a more pacifistic, paranoid and solitary figure vowing never to kill anyone ever again.
