Acting
In 1980, Cooksey and his mother moved to Los Angeles with the intention of pursuing a career in country music.

He also played Kevin Cavanaugh in The Cavanaughs, Bobby Budnick in Salute Your Shorts, John Connor's friend Tim in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the title character in The Further Adventures of SuperTed, Montana Max in Tiny Toon Adventures, Jack Spicer in Xiaolin Showdown and the title character in Dave the Barbarian. He also lent his voice to the Kids' WB animated series Static Shock as Francis Stone/Hotstreak.

Cooksey was the lead singer in the band Bad4Good; they released one CD, Refugee, for Interscope Records in 1992. He was also a band member of Lucy's Milk in 1996 and Arbuckle in 2004. In between Bad4Good and Lucy's Milk, Cooksey attempted to form another super group called Sheriff. Sheriff consisted of Cooksey, his friends and former Salute Your Shorts castmates Blake Sennett and Michael Bower and his former bandmate in Bad4Good Zach Young. The Sheriff project was scrapped when they couldn't land a record deal. In 2013, Cooksey worked with L.A. Country and Western band Shelter Dogs providing guitar and vocals.
