(1973-) Actor and film maker. Born in Pretoria on 27 November 1973. While still in high school, Copley began producing amateur theatre and film. He met his business partner [[Simon Hansen]] during his high school years at a Johannesburg private school. After completing high school, Copley and Hansen moved to Cape Town to start a production company. Their first production was Alive in Johannesburg, which was the basis for their 2009 sci-fi film, District 9.
''District 9'', in which Copley also plays a lead role, earned itself an Oscar nomination and garnered Copley praise for his portrayal of the character Wikus. In 2010 he portrayed the character Murdoch in a film adaptation of the eighties series, the ''A Team''. Copley currently lives in Cape Town and Los Angeles.
