Biography: A tall, imposing character actor with a penetrating stare, Marshall Bell has provided excellent support in a variety of roles and genres. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on September 28, 1942, and had been working as a consultant, teaching senior executives how to improve their speaking skills, prior to starting an acting career relatively late in life. His connection was his wife, the veteran costume designer Milena Canonero, herself a winner of three Academy Awards and nominee for five more. He made his motion picture debut in the drama Birdy (1984), which was seen by enough people to effectively jump-start his career. One of his next few roles was one of his most infamous: the creepy Coach Schneider of Pesadilla en Elm Street 2: La venganza de Freddy (1985). But the role that really got  (see all) him noticed was as resistance leader George / Kuato in Desafío total (1990) (the role re-united him with Arnold Schwarzenegger, as he'd played a hit man in the comedy Los gemelos golpean dos veces (1988)). Other substantial film roles include a frightening homeless man terrorizing Bill Paxton in the movie Psicosis mortal (1992), Gordies' emotionally distant father in Cuenta conmigo (1986), and General Owen in the movie Starship Troopers (Las brigadas del espacio) (1997), re-uniting him with "Total Recall" director Paul Verhoeven. He's done many TV series, including G vs E (1999), El astuto (1987), Expediente X (1993), Historias de la cripta (1989), Canción triste de Hill Street (1981), House (2004), and Deadwood (2004). He's also appeared in commercials and done voice-over work.A solid, reliable actor with an authoritative presence, Bell is a natural for playing "tough guy" roles, although movies like Cabezas huecas (1994) show him to be able to play comedy equally well. He continues to add many credits to his resume, including the critically acclaimed Truman Capote (2005), the prisoner of war drama Rescate al amanecer (2006), and the family film Nancy Drew. Misterio en las colinas de Hollywood (2007).
