Joseph Tobin Bell

This actor is known to the general public for his roles in the films "Sophie's Choice", "Mississippi on Fire", "Ruby", "In the Line of Fire". He has worked with directors Alan Pekula, John Mackenzie, Sidney Pollack, Martin Scorsese, Wolfgang Petersen, Alan Parker, Harold Becker and Sam Raimi. But his most important role is John Kramer in the movie "Saw". It's about Tobin Bell.

Joseph Tobin Bell was born on August 7, 1942 in Queens, New York, USA. His mother, Englishwoman Eilis Bell Tobin, was an actress, and his father, Joseph Tobin, owned a radio station. In addition to Tobin, the family had two more children - a brother and a sister. Shortly after the birth of Joseph Tobin, the family moved to Weymouth, Massachusetts. As a child, the boy did not even think about the career of a famous actor, but wanted to become a TV presenter or writer, so he paid a lot of attention to journalism and other humanities in college.

Bell received his higher education in New Jersey. At Montclair State University, the future actor studied natural history, and later was sent to the New York Botanic Gardens to practice. Young Tobin wanted to connect his life with cinema and theater after attending a seminar by the screenwriter and actor of Canadian origin Hume Cronin and his wife, English actress Jessica Tandy.

Tobin received his acting education under the direction of Sanford Meisner and Lee Strasberg. Having mastered the skills of acting, he performed in theater at the New York Shakespeare Festival, Boston Arts Festival and others.

Tobin got his decisive role at the age of forty in the film "Tootsie" directed by Sidney Pollack, where he played a waiter. It was then, in 1982, that his acting career began to develop. Before that, there were 29 more minor roles in the films "Manhattan" (where the actor is not even listed in the credits, because he played in the crowd scene), "A Story of Ordinary Madness" (again a cameo role), "Sophie's Choice", "Verdict" and others.

In parallel, Bell played at the Broadway theater, where he met a director, who recommended that he go to Hollywood to seek his fortune. By the way, it was then that the director saw his trademark "villainous potential" in a man. Tobin followed the advice he had heard, and already in 1988 got the role of an FBI agent in the film Mississippi on Fire, directed by Alan Parker.

Further proposals for filming began to pour in one after another, but there were no significant roles in the life of the actor. Between 1993 and 2001, Bell starred in the hit Hollywood television series Tough Walker.

Bell's finest hour came in 2004, when the actor went to the casting of the movie "Saw" and ended up getting the lead role. Despite the fact that the budget of the film was small, its success exceeded all expectations. And the image of Tobin Bell forever stuck in the memory of viewers as a maniac John Kramer. Tobin himself says that the film is not just a dummy horror film, but its hero teaches people to appreciate life. Then, one after another, six more parts of the film came out, which brought Tobin the final glory of a maniac killer from a horror film.

Tobin Bell himself talks about how people around him invariably react to him as a crazy killer. But the good-natured actor does not get tired of dissuading frightened fans of horror films that in reality he has nothing to do with his formidable hero from the screen. On the last part of the sequel "Saw 3D" Tobin did not stop, he was followed by an offer to voice John Kramer in a computer game based on the film. The reason is simple: Tobin does have a voice that is surprisingly suitable for horror movies, soft and frightening at the same time.

For his villainous role, the actor has received several MTV Movie Awords awards and others, including Best Villain and Best Butcher. After such a success with the audience, Bell gets exclusively the role of villains, an example of this are the films "Route 61", "Goosebumps", "Alice" and others.

In addition to horror films, Bell is known to the general public for his role in the television series "The Flash" (2014), where he played the role of a doctor of alchemy - one of the protagonist's enemies. In total, the actor has 98 roles in films, four production jobs and seven more films where Tobin Bell played himself ("In Pieces. Dawn and Dusk of Slashers," the series "Made in Hollywood" and others).

Tobin Bell's biography is not replete with facts about his family. It is only known that the actor is married and has two sons. But no details about the actor's wife and children are known. The actor prefers not to post family photos on Instagram.

In his free time from filming, Tobin is the coach of a baseball team, plays football with pleasure. In his youth, the actor's hobbies included playing the guitar, photography and hiking around New York.

In anticipation of the premiere and release of the eighth part of the popular horror film "Saw" with Tobin Bell in the title role, viewers and fans of Tobin's work are eagerly awaiting details. After the release of the penultimate part, the audience got tired of the sequel, but this time the directors promise something special. The eighth part of "Saw" will become more of a thriller than a classic horror film.

Despite the fact that John Kramer died in the third part of the sequel, but at the same time was constantly present in subsequent films, "Saw - 8" also will not do without the participation of Tobin Bell, because he is a kind of symbol of the success of the picture. The directors boldly declare: "We are proud of this work!" This means that the audience will have something to see.

But Tobin Bell's acting career isn't all about playing villains in cult horror films. In 2016, Tobin starred in the comedy drama Rainbow Time and the thriller 12 Feet Depth. In 2017, along with Saw-8, another film with Bell's participation will be released - My Sweet Pony, a short-length drama film.

The premiere of the biographical film The Story of Marcus Garvey by young director Stephen Anderson is scheduled for 2018. What role Bell will play in the film is not yet known, but it is clear that the film is dedicated to the life of a fighter for black rights in the world.

Another military drama starring Tobin Bell is expected to premiere in 2018 - "Bandit". Here we will talk about a CIA employee who was assigned to determine the location of al-Qaeda terrorists in distant Afghanistan.
