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.
