Career Cook's first job was in a McDonald's commercial in 1997. She graduated to series work with a guest role on the television seriesGoosebumps, and parts in two television movies,In His Father's ShoesandElvis Meets Nixon. Cook launched her feature film career as one of five captivating suicidal sisters in 1999'sThe Virgin Suicides. Also that year, she took a starring role in the TV seriesHigher Ground, in which Cook played Shelby Merrick, a rough-around-the-edges teenage girl dealing with abuse and heartache at a wilderness school for struggling kids. Higher Groundlasted one season, ending with a romance between Shelby and Hayden Christensen's character, Scott. AfterHigher Ground, Cook appeared in the 2000 TV movieThe Spiral Staircase(alongsideHigher Groundalum Kandyse McClure), and then captured leading roles in several films, includingOut Cold(as Jason London's love interest),Ripper,I'm Reed Fish, andFinal Destination 2. In 2003, A.J. guest starred in a pivotal role on the critically acclaimed seriesDead Like Me. (Interestingly, the episode preceding her appearance inSunday Morningswas entitledA Cook, although there was no connection between the guest characters in either episode.) She currently stars as Jennifer "J.J." Jareau in the CBS dramaCriminal Minds. On June 14, 2010 it was announced [6] that her contract option would not be picked up for the show's sixth season as a series regular, but she did return for two episodes to wrap up her character's storyline due to thousands of letters and petitions written to the show's [7] [8] producers. She also returned for one episode for the departure of Paget Brewster from the series. On April 16, [9] 2011 it was reported that she had signed to reappear for two more seasons of the show. Cook was also in Season 1 of Tru Calling as Lindsay Walker.

Personal life In August 2001, Cook married her long-time boyfriend Nathan Andersen, whom she met in a film class at Utah [10] Valley University. She later moved to Salt Lake City, Utah to be with him and currently resides in Los Angeles, [5] California. [11][12] In March 2008, it was reported that Cook and Andersen would be expecting their first child in October. Their son, Mekhai Allan Andersen, was born on Saturday, September 13, 2008. Weighing in at 7 lbs, 10 oz and 20 inches long, Mekhai was born at 8:50 p.m. A.J. said "He's such a good baby. I feel so lucky that he's mine. My husband and [13] I feel very blessed!" Mekhai made a brief appearance as Henry LaMontagne inCriminal Mindsin Season 5 when Cook's character Jennifer Jareau was in a pharmacy buying children's medicine which leads to a breakthrough in the [14] case the BAU was currently trying to solve. He reprised the role of Henry in the Criminal Minds two hour season [15] 7 finale in 2012. Cook and Andersen are also the owners of a Yorkshire Terrier named Zara. Cook was considered legally blind at an early age because of a severe astigmatism, but wore contacts to correct her [16] vision. She eventually underwent surgery where a lens implant was used to correct the impairment.

A. J. Cook (trade unionist)

Arthur James Cook (22 November 1883–2 November 1931), known asA. J. Cook, was a British coal miner and trade union leader. He is remembered as one of the United Kingdom's best known miners’ leaders and a key member of the National Minority Movement (NMM) around the General Strike of 1926.

Biography

Early years

[1] A.J. Cook was born to Thomas and Selina Cook in Wookey , Somerset. He spent the early part of his life in the West Country. Cook later described his childhood as a troubled one, which included both a poor relationship with his family as well as a genuine struggle in school.

Political career

A. J. Cook 1906

As a result, at the age of 18 Cook moved to Porth in South Wales, and later to Merthyr Tydfil, to find work in the coal mines; he was also a lay preacher in the local Baptist chapel. In this mining town Cook first became involved in politics, committing active service to the Independent Labour Party (ILP). He first came to prominence in the Cambrian Coal Dispute in 1910 and went on to active involvement in the Miners' Unofficial Reform Committee which published the famous syndicalist pamphlet 'The Miners' Next Step' in 1912. The pamphlet argued that the left needed to organise from below to gain control of the leadership of the union.

Cook opposed World War I and in March 1918 was arrested and charged with sedition under the Defence of the [2] Realm Act. He was sentenced to three months' imprisonment.

Having established a reputation as a left-winger, Cook spent the next ten years following through on this initiative; finally being elected as the secretary of the South Wales Miners' Federation in 1921 and spending another brief [1] period in prison in the same year for incitement and unlawful assembly. In 1924 the Miners' Minority Movement was able to force Frank Hodges to resign his union office, and thus an election was held to determine the next leader

A. J. Cook (trade unionist)

of the movement. The South Wales Miners’Federation nominated AJ Cook to replace him, and he beat Joseph Jones for the post by 217,664 votes to 202,297. Cook was then 39 years old.

On learning of his election, Trades Union Congress general secretary Fred Bramley exploded in outrage against Cook's election, claiming him to be a“raving Communist”. Regardless, he was General Secretary of the Miners’ Federation of Great Britain from 1924 until 1931, a period that included the 1926 General Strike, about which he [3] [4] wrote the pamphlet "The Nine Days". He was also elected as secretary of the International Miners' Federation.

Although a member of the Independent Labour Party, Cook worked closely with the Communist Party after its formation in 1920 and the National Minority Movement from 1924 to 1929. Arthur Horner, a leading South Wales Communist and mining militant described Cook's tenure as General Secretary as“a time for new ideas—an agitator, a man with a sense of adventure”.

Death and legacy [5] Cook died of cancer in 1931, aged 47.
