Coby Scott Bell (born May 11, 1975) is an American actor and producer recognized for his extensive work in television drama and comedy. Born in Orange County, California, to Broadway veteran Michel Bell, he graduated with honors from San Jose State University before beginning his professional career with guest appearances on series such as ER and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A significant breakthrough moment occurred in 1999 when he was cast as Officer Ty Davis Jr. in the NBC drama Third Watch, a role he maintained for the series' entire six-season run. He achieved further career milestones by demonstrating his versatility in two long-running, concurrent roles: portraying professional football player Jason Pitts in the comedy-drama The Game (2006–2015) and counter-intelligence agent Jesse Porter in the USA Network spy thriller Burn Notice (2010–2013). Bell has since continued his career in prominent television roles, including starring as Jace Turner in the Marvel series The Gifted and as Captain Larry James in the CW series Walker.
The story follows a team of pirate mercenaries known as the Lagoon Company, that smuggles goods in and around the seas of Southeast Asia in the early to mid 1990s.[4] Their base of operations is located in the fictional harbor city of Roanapur in east Thailand near the border of Cambodia (somewhere in the Amphoe Mueang Trat district, likely on the mainland north/northeast of the Ko Chang island or on the island itself).[5] The city is home to the Japanese Yakuza, the Chinese Triad, the Russian mafia, the Colombian cartel, the Italian mafia, a wide assortment of pickpockets, thugs, mercenaries, thieves, prostitutes, assassins, and gunmen. The city also has a large Vietnamese refugee population following the Vietnamese refugees exodus after the Communist takeover of Vietnam in 1975. Lagoon Company transports goods for various clients in the American made 80-foot (24 m) Elco-type PT boat Black Lagoon. It has a particularly friendly relationship with the Russian crime syndicate Hotel Moscow. The team takes on a variety of missions—which may involve violent firefights, hand-to-hand combat, and nautical battles—in various Southeast Asian locations, even going as far as Phu Quoc island of Vietnam. When they are not working, the members of the Lagoon Company spend much of their down time at The Yellow Flag, a bar in Roanapur which is often destroyed in firefights.
