Tobin Bell Movies
Though he can be spotted in a variety of made-for-TV movies, sitcoms, and prime-time dramas (
Seinfeld,
NYPD Blue,
The X-Files, and
The Sopranos are among his many television credits), New York native
Tobin Bell is known best for his role as Jigsaw, a serial killer with a penchant for torturing his victims -- physically and psychologically -- in the gruesome
Saw film series. The performance was good enough to secure a nomination for "Best Villain" two years in a row at the
MTV Movie Awards, and won
Bell the coveted "Best Butcher" award at the Fuse/Fangoria Chainsaw Awards. In addition to his roles as fictional villains, the actor played the real-life bad guy, Unabomber John Kaczynski, in the made-for-TV movie
Unabomber: The True Story (1996). ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
