Tennyson Cooray was an actor and comedian in Sri Lankan cinema and theater. In addition to acting, he also worked as a singer, lyrics writer, director and scriptwriter.

At adolescent age, he performed at church festivals. Then he went to several drama interviews to take an opportunity to act in movies. However, he could not get a chance because of his appearance. Totally disappointed, one time his father told him that 'if you want to act, you can do a play that suits you'. Then he made a Vesak drama called Apaaye Thappara 1800. He also administered the sound. It was shown about 35 times outside the Moratuwa area.

He began his career as a stage performer in a passion play staged at Moratumulla Church. He further developed his drama talents at the Wesley Gulld and the Bible School of the Willorawatte Church. He has produced Christian Dramas for the NCC Radio.

He won the award for the Best Comedian at 2018 Derana Lux Film Awards for the film Kota Uda Express.
