Tom Bell

Highest Rated: 100% Damn the Defiant! (1962)

Lowest Rated: 0% The Leisure Class (2015)

Birthday: Aug 2, 1933

Birthday:

Birthplace: Liverpool, England, UK

A consummate character player, Tom Bell has had roles on stage, film and TV that have varied from lively English folk to sinister Adolph Eichmann in "Holocaust" (NBC, 1978) to the petty thief whose murder brings down "The Krays" (1990). He dropped out of school when he was 15 to pursue acting and, with the exception of a stint in the armed forces, has had few spells of unemployment. Bell's stage roles read similar to contemporaries such as Sir Ian McKellen and John Wood, including "Bent," "Travesties" and the classics.
