Who is Coby Bell?
Coby Scott Bell was born in Orange County, California USA, on 11 May 1975, so under the zodiac sign of Taurus and holding American nationality. Coby is best known for his acting career, especially for his roles in “The Game” and “Third Watch” TV series, while he is also a producer and songwriter.
Early life and education
Coby is the son of a Caucasian mother, Kathy A. Lathrop, while his African-American father is the famous Broadway actor named Michel Bell. Coby went to San Clemente High School and after he matriculated attended and graduated from San Jose State University – soon afterwards, he landed his first roles in 1997, in “The Parent ‘Hood”, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “ER” TV series.
Michel Bell
Some say that Coby strives to become as popular as his father, which may be difficult to achieve – Michel was nominated for a Tony Award but although that might mean a lot to some, for him it was just one of many achievements. He was nominated for his portrayal of Joe in Hal Prince’s “Show Boat” production, while he also appeared in the “Civil War” musical on Broadway, and “Riverdance: The Musical”. One can say that the biggest achievement of his life was when he performed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at the “American’s Millennium” celebration in 2000 – he was being watched by over 600,000 people together with the President and the First Lady.
Michel has performed with some of the most famous operas in the US, including San Diego Opera, Michigan Opera, and Lyric Opera, while he also performed with the L.A. Philharmonic, San Diego Symphony, Berlin Radio Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic. He has won awards such as the Jefferson Award, Ovation Award, the Outer Critic’s Circle Award, and the Kevin Kline award, which is why a nomination for a Tony Award did not represent a major achievement for Michel.
He was once also a member of a pop vocal group called “The Fifth Dimension”, and had a chance to perform with some worldwide famous artists such as Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and Sammy Davis Jr.
