電影簡介
廿一世紀恐怖新經典! 拼圖殺人狂陰魂不散,恐怖終極降臨!
《恐懼鬥室》系列成功打造本世紀最恐怖電影品牌!
「得利影視股份有限公司」香港榮譽發行的終極恐怖猛片之霸──《恐懼鬥室4回頭是岸》(Saw 4),已鐵於今年10月26日(星期五)香港和美國同日公映。
今集由《恐懼鬥室》系列原班人馬繼續重手泡製血腥驚嚇,緊接著上一回的劇情,「拼圖殺人狂」及繼承人阿曼達宣佈死掉同時,警探皮利斯聯同史達咸(史葛彼得遜 飾),一拼協助老差骨警官荷夫曼(哥斯達斯文迪拿 飾)詳查「拼圖殺人狂」殺人遊戲背後的玄機。同一時間裡,唯一接觸過「拼圖殺人狂」的特種部隊人員列克(勞力賓特 飾)突遭綁架,急需逃離連串死亡陷阱和佈局,否則只有死路一條!荷夫曼等人沿列克的線索追查下去,赫然發現一切皆牽連到「拼圖殺人狂」前妻翠爾(貝絲羅素 飾),因而揭發「拼圖殺人狂」鮮為人知的震撼過去,惡魔源頭終極現身!
發自最原始的人心恐懼
「這是甚麼地方?為什麼我在此?」
《恐懼鬥室》從第一集的以上開首對白後,電影製造出對無望的混亂、對反抗完全無力、極度驚恐被侵襲恐懼,這些都是此系列的成功元素。片中透過終極病態狂魔「拼圖殺人狂」這位癌症病人,找來對生命沒有希望的人去,以參與他設計的極兇殘死亡遊戲,一連三集驚動了全球數百萬觀眾的神經。
用三集篇幅打造出的恐怖品牌的電影系列,為數不少,它不但能夠與恐怖經典如《猛鬼街》及《月光光心慌慌》媲美,更有過之而無不及,晉身成為新一代恐怖電影文化潮流表表者。《恐懼鬥室》在商業上取得的成功更勁到得人驚,三集總收四億票房以及1.3億張DVD銷量,令此系列成為電影史上最賺錢的恐怖品牌,亦令製作公司Liongate成為當今恐怖電影製作公司的領導者,在票房以及DVD銷情上領先。
《恐懼鬥室》絕對能夠為恐怖電影的形式、主題都帶來無窮創新。在2004年辛丹斯電影節中,主席Geoffrey Gilmore看完第一集《恐懼鬥室》後讚口不絕:「《恐》不但只故事結構編排得十分高明,以及竭盡全力的把觀眾嚇倒,更重要的是,它內裡所帶出的道德上的重要性。本片不是只想令觀眾驚惶失措,而且希望他們能夠想想生存的意義。這問題都是生活於現代社會,我們不論以個人還是社會一份子的身份,也要去深思熟慮。」
「拼圖殺人狂」的癌病令他去想究竟生存意義是什麼,以及死亡其實經常都很接近我們。透過思考生存的價值作出發點,去看其他個人道德觀念,例如寬恕及懲罰。「拼圖殺人狂」探討以上問題,就成為死亡遊戲的元素。
經典系列巴閉晉身殿堂 幕後人馬居功至偉
《恐懼鬥室》系列不單是近年的恐怖電影熱潮的中堅份子,更有人將它與七十年代獨立恐怖電影浪潮來作比較。就在今個夏天,紐約電影資料館搞了一個「恐怖電影:1970至今日」為題的系列,此系列探索電影史上人類恐怖、陰森、變態行為之極限,以1972年Wes Craven的《殺人不分左右》及1974年的《德州電鋸大屠殺》為始,至《恐懼鬥室》系列為終,可見它已與一眾經典齊名,當中甚至將它與寇比力克《發條橙》相提並論,足證其恐怖片地位入得殿堂。電影館館長David Schwartz說:「這些影片都極具文化與美學價值,透過極度嘔心、驚嚇的影像,反映出當代人心的恐懼。」
獨具風格《恐懼鬥室》系列的成功,一直有賴於一眾居功至偉的幕後功臣,包括原創者James Wan及Leigh Whannell;第二集才加入為導演及編劇的Darren Lynn Bousman;監製Oren Koules、Mark Burg及後期的Gregg Hoffman;執行監製Stacey Testro、Peter Block及Jason Constantine。他們由系列開始時已經並肩合作,再加上攝影師David Armstrong以及製作設計David Hackl等人的努力,早為今日《恐》片系列成功奠下基石。
不得不提的當然還有主要的演員托賓貝爾(Tobin Bell)為電影品牌打造出最成功的恐怖電影主角icon之一。在本年9月7日的L.A. Weekly,影評人Luke Thomson更將「拼圖殺人狂」與《沉默的羔羊》系列的博士Hannibal Lecter相提並論:「托賓的演出無懈可擊,他是繼安東尼健士演Hannibal Lecter後最佳的恐怖反英雄。」
今集《恐懼鬥室4回頭是岸》導演為第2、3集的戴倫連達畢士曼(Darren Lynn Bousman),編劇為柏德烈米頓(Patrick Melton)、馬克斯鄧斯坦(Marcus Dunstan)及湯馬斯芬頓(Thomas Fenton)。監製為格力荷夫曼(Gregg Hoffman)、歐倫寇爾斯(Oren Koules)及馬克伯格(Mark Burg)。執行監製為丹尼爾積遜荷夫拿(Daniel Jason Heffner)、占士溫(james Wan)、利雲紐(Leigh Whannell)、彼得布洛(Peter Block)及積遜昆士坦丁(Jason Constantine)。
拼圖砌返轉頭 首三集恐怖回憶
《恐懼鬥室》
故事開場帶觀眾去到一個充滿惡臭的地下封閉的浴室,兩個男子阿當及哥頓醒來發現自己躺在這裡。而精神病的天才「拼圖殺人狂」就早在這密室設計了一連串死亡遊戲,迫使兩個受害人去作生與死的抉擇!同一時間,警探塔特及基利努力追查「拼圖殺人狂」的身份,以免有更多受害者遇害。但原來「拼圖殺人狂」是有同謀的,但他合作的意願並不清晰,而且他周詳的計劃往往使他成功逃脫。
《恐懼鬥室》於2004年10月29日萬聖節於美國開畫,即收1,840萬美元成票房榜第3位,而該集只拍了120萬美金,最終全球總收1億200萬美元(美國本土5,510萬,海外4,770萬)。影碟亦大賣280萬張,成為翌年全世界最暢銷恐怖電影DVD之一。
《恐懼鬥室2死亡困局》
片中「拼圖殺人狂」同時間玩著兩個死亡遊戲:一是8個受害者醒來發現身在一間破爛的屋內,並必需在室內毒素,迫使他們身亡前解開所有「拼圖殺人狂」的謎底;同一時間,警探艾力的反叛兒子是其中一個被困在密室內的,他要誓死救兒子逃出生天,而原來他不發覺自己慢慢步進「拼圖殺人狂」新繼承人阿曼達所設的圈套中。
《恐懼鬥室2死亡困局》於2005年10月28日於美國開畫(萬聖節again!),即以3,170萬美元成為票房冠軍,比首集多出超過1,200萬,同時成為當年最賺錢的恐怖電影。於海外票房亦報捷,德國、巴西、澳洲及奧地利開畫亦成當地冠軍,全球總收6,590萬美元。影碟亦於首周已賣出350萬張,絕對威水。
《恐懼鬥室3死神在齒》
片中內容描述,由於「拼圖殺人狂」身體狀況每況愈下,他準備要阿曼達繼承他的殺人遊戲。阿曼達設計了幾個死亡遊戲,包括要受害者蓮妮去為快死的病人做開腦手術;同時間絕望的父親傑夫亦被困在此密室內,二人掙扎希望逃出生天。
《恐懼鬥室3死神在齒》於2006年10月27日於美國開畫(萬聖節again & again!),以3,360萬美元順利成為票房冠軍,更成為製作公司Liongate最高開畫票房紀錄電影,同樣又成為當年最賺錢的恐怖電影。最後電影於美國總收8,020萬美元,海外票房亦超過1億。同時,DVD銷量相當驚人,於美國推出首周已賣出160萬隻,將成為07年最賣得的恐怖電影影碟。
此片也在各大電影頒獎禮獲得不少獎項提名,如在Academy of Science Fiction、 Fantasy and Horror Films的2007 Saturn Award中獲得最佳恐怖電影提名,「拼圖殺人狂」托賓貝爾亦在MTV電影頒獎禮亦獲得「最佳兇手」提名。
《恐懼鬥室4回頭是岸》
《恐懼鬥室》系列擁躉們或許在想,「拼圖殺人狂」死了以後──第4集還可以拍出什麼來?此集雖不是前傳,但可跟大家說,「拼圖殺人狂」依然是片中很重要的角色,究竟第4集如何解決這個兩難?實在很有趣。
正如此外導演戴倫連達畢士曼說:「拼圖殺人狂於《恐懼鬥室3死神在齒》的死亡為我們遺留下很大創作挑戰,同樣對我們來說十分刺激。我們這集必須有精明及與別不同的設計,才可令《恐》系列不致於自我重覆。我們將會更深入探索拼圖殺人狂的故事、他的哲學以及迷戀。《恐懼鬥室4回頭是岸》會是一個更可怕的旅程。」
《恐懼鬥室》x 紅十字會 繼續大搞「捐血一袋,救人一命」運動
《恐懼鬥室》何只再銀幕上充滿血腥,它的大量血腥卻於銀幕下卻拯救不少生命。早於《恐懼鬥室》第一集,Liongate及Twisted Pictures早已聯同紅十字會度身訂做了一個大型宣傳運動,名稱叫做「捐血一袋,救人一命」,呼籲《恐懼鬥室》的觀眾及擁躉前往捐血。此外一連3集皆選擇以萬聖節作電影首映,成為了本品牌的傳統。此運動在首3年總共成功捐贈了38,000品脫的血予紅十字會,拯救了112,500條生命。本年度的第4集捐血運動,Liongate希望能集得60,000品脫的血,亦即會是上年度的2倍半份量,誓將破盡前3集紀錄!

《恐懼鬥室4回頭是岸》戲外重點泡製的捐血運動,Yahoo! 是這次Liongate及Twisted Pictures的重點網上夥伴,為是次活動提供龐大的網上支持。透過Yahoo! 的新聞、電郵及電影網站,估計會有超過億次的瀏覽次數。此外在Yahoo! 中搜尋Saw Blood Drive,將可連結到第四集的捐血運動網站、Yahoo! Map為觀眾找到最近的捐血地點,這個互動的地圖網更可使用家下載本品牌的東西。

SYNOPSIS
Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead.
Upon the news of Detective Kerry's murder, two seasoned FBI profilers, Agent Strahm (Scott Patterson) and Agent Perez, arrive at the depleted police precinct and help veteran Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) sift through Jigsaw's latest grisly game of victims and piece together the puzzle. But then SWAT Commander Rigg (Lyriq Bent), the only local officer who has yet to experience Jigsaw's (Tobin Bell) handiwork, is suddenly abducted. Thrust into the madman's harrowing game, he has but 90 minutes to overcome a diabolical series of interconnected traps...or face the deadly consequences.
Rigg's citywide pursuit leaves a wake of dead bodies, and Detective Hoffman and the FBI uncover long hidden clues that lead them back to Jigsaw's ex-wife Jill (Betsy Russell). The genesis of Jigsaw's evil is unveiled, exposing the puppet master's true intentions and the sinister plan for his past, present and future victims.
SAW IV is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (SAW II, SAW III). The screenplay is by Patrick Melton & Marcus Dunstan, from a story by Patrick Melton & Marcus Dunstan and Thomas Fenton. The producers are Gregg Hoffman, Oren Koules and Mark Burg. The film is executive produced by Daniel Jason Heffner, James Wan, Leigh Whannell, Stacey Testro, Peter Block and Jason Constantine.
ABOUT THE SAW FRANCHISE
"What the fuck is going on? Where am I?"
Those words, uttered two minutes into 2004's SAW, express the primal emotions - the hopeless confusion, the awful sense of powerlessness and sheer, panic-stricken terror -- that lie at the heart of Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures' SAW franchise; emotions that are a key to its phenomenal success. The SAW films follow the machinations of Jigsaw, a terminally ill cancer patient with an exacting moral agenda and a genius for gruesome games of survival, "played" with those he believes have ceased to value and appreciate the gift of life. Ratcheting up tension and invention with each successive film, the SAW franchise has touched a chord while jangling millions of nerves worldwide. It has picked up the baton from classic horror series such as HALLOWEEN and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET to become a cultural touchstone, as well as the most profitable horror franchise, both theatrically and on DVD, in movie history. To date, the three SAW titles have taken in over $400 million in worldwide theatrical box office and their combined net DVD sales exceed 13 million units. The franchise has helped make Lionsgate the leading studio for horror today, with #1 rankings in box office and DVD consumer spending.
SAW made its world premiere at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival as part of the Festival's popular "Park City at Midnight" program. Festival Director Geoffrey Gilmore, who programs the annual event, recalls that he was impressed by the first-time filmmakers' command of both form and theme. "SAW grabbed the viewer from the first frame; it was bold, cleverly constructed and flat-out terrifying," he comments. "But what really set SAW apart was its moral seriousness. This movie didn't just want to scare you, it wanted to make you think about what you would do to stay alive. In today's world, that is not a trivial thing to contemplate -- either as an individual or as a member of society."
As the SAW series has continued, the films have tunneled further into Jigsaw's beliefs and worldview. Says Leigh Whannell, who created the original story with director James Wan and wrote or co-wrote the screenplays for SAW, SAW II and SAW III, "Jigsaw's cancer has led him to think very hard about what it means to be alive and how close we are to death at any given time. But he's not someone who stops with a simple 'carpe diem' and a trip to Europe. The concept of life's value becomes a springboard to look at other personal moral choices, like forgiveness versus retribution. Jigsaw keeps digging into these issues, which become grist for his games. And as twisted as the games are, his intention is to help people. Between his philosophical bent and his sick take on altruism, I like to think Jigsaw is somewhat unique in the horror universe."
The SAW franchise has been part of a wave of horror films that have drawn favorable comparisons to the independent horror cinema of the 1970s, a connection highlighted in a Summer 2007 series at New York's Museum of the Moving Image, entitled "It's Only a Movie: Horror Films from the 1970s and Today." The six-weekend retrospective drew a thru-line between films like Wes Craven's LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (1972) and Tobe Hooper's TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974), which shocked audiences of their day with envelope-pushing gore and disturbing explorations of human behavior; and the films of the SAW age, including Darren Lynn Bousman's SAW II, which contain images and stories that have left today's viewers just as stunned and terrified -- and eager for more -- as the moviegoers of the 1970s. "It's Only a Movie" presented double features that paired films from each era, with SAW II sharing a bill with Stanley Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
Announcing the series in June 2007, the Museum's Chief Curator, David Schwartz said, "These movies are of considerable aesthetic and cultural interest, clearly reflecting the fears of contemporary lives…. Of course we are aware that these films contain disturbing, often shocking images, but they are powerful precisely because they tap into our deepest anxieties."
Assistant Curator Livia Bloom also weighed in. "The filmmakers in this series use the horror genre as a commercial framework to make smart, often subversive films. Their work examines deep psychological concerns, and comments on social and political issues of the day." Bloom noted that in SAW's "startling scenes of torture," she found "reflections of a life during a time of war and turmoil."
The thematic and stylistic consistency of the SAW series owes much to the stewardship and participation of a core team, including SAW originators James Wan and Leigh Whannell; writer/director Darren Lynn Bousman, who joined the team with SAW II; producers Oren Koules, Mark Burg and the late Gregg Hoffman; and executive producers Stacey Testro, Peter Block and Jason Constantine. The key creative team has been with the series from the start, and includes director of photography David Armstrong; production designer David Hackl; editor Kevin Greutert; and composer Charlie Clouser, a onetime member of the band Nine Inch Nails.
Another critical member of the SAW team is actor Tobin Bell, who has portrayed Jigsaw throughout the franchise. In his September 7, 2007 essay on contemporary horror movies in the L.A. Weekly, critic Luke Thomson wrote, "Tobin Bell's performance as Jigsaw is a wonder; he's the best 'real-world' horror antihero since Anthony Hopkins first played Hannibal Lecter."
As intricate as one of Jigsaw's games, the SAW films reveal their twisting plots gradually. The series itself resembles an even larger jigsaw puzzle, with each new film linking up in some way with its predecessor. With SAW IV arriving in theatres for Halloween 2007, let's take a look at the pieces thus far. To paraphrase Jigsaw's victims: where are we?
PREVIOUS RECORD - SAW I, II, III…
SAW
Director: James Wan
Screenwriter: Leigh Whannell
Story by James Wan and Leigh Whannell
SAW's opening scene immediately plunges the audience into the unknown, along with the two unfortunate men, Adam (Leigh Whannell) and Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes), who wake to find themselves chained up in a fetid subterranean bathroom. The captives are the most recent targets of a psychopathic genius known as Jigsaw, who constructs elaborate games that force his victims to make impossible choices between life and death. As Adam and Dr. Gordon struggle to unravel the elaborate puzzle of their fate, Detective Tapp (Danny Glover) and his colleague Kerry (Dina Meyer) work furiously to determine Jigsaw's identity before he can claim yet more victims. But Jigsaw has accomplices - whose willingness is not entirely clear - and his meticulous planning enables him to escape.
SAW opened nationwide on Friday, October 29, 2004. The film stunned industry observers by debuting at #3 with a weekend take of $18.4 million and it remained in the Top 10 for 4 weeks. Produced for just $1.2 million, SAW went on to worldwide box office earnings of over $102 million ($55.1 domestic, $47.7 international). It won the Audience Award for Best Feature at the 2004 San Sebastian Horror and Fantasy Film Festival. SAW was released on DVD/home video on February 15, 2005; it debuted at #1 on the home entertainment charts and sold 2.8 million units in its first week. It was the top-selling horror DVD of 2005.
SAW II
Director: Darren Lynn Bousman
Screenplay: Leigh Whannell, Darren Lynn Bousman
SAW II finds Jigsaw playing two games simultaneously: one involving eight victims who wake up in a crumbling house and must solve their mastermind's riddle before their insides are destroyed by poison; and the other with Detective Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg), whose rebellious son is among the eight captives. Also among the abducted is Amanda (Shawnee Smith), who was introduced in SAW as the only victim to have survived Jigsaw's tests. Desperate to save his son, Detective Matthews resorts, not for the first time, to brutality and trickery. It's a decision that leads him right into a trap designed by Jigsaw in collaboration with his new apprentice: Amanda.
SAW II opened nationwide on Friday, October 28, 2005. It was the weekend's #1 film with a box office tally of $31.7 million, outperforming SAW's opening weekend by $12 million, an increase of approximately 70%. SAW II spent 7 weeks in the U.S. Top Ten, and was the most profitable horror film of 2005, with domestic theatrical box office receipts of $87 million. Internationally, SAW II opened at #1 in Australia, Brazil, Germany and Austria; its combined international box office was $65.9 million. SAW II was released on DVD/home video on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2006; it debuted at #1 on the home entertainment charts, selling 2.5 million units on its first day and 3.5 million units in its first week. It was nominated for the 2006 Saturn Award for Best Horror Film by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA; star Tobin Bell was nominated for the 2006 MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Villain.
SAW III
Director: Darren Lynn Bousman
Story: Leigh Whannell and James Wan
Screenplay: Leigh Whannell
As SAW III begins, Jigsaw's health is failing and he is preparing his adoring acolyte, Amanda, to carry on his work. Amanda has designed numerous games herself, building various horrendous contraptions to test the survival instincts of her victims. A very important game involves a brain surgeon, Lynn (Bahar Soomekh), who is forced to operate on the dying man. Meanwhile, in another section of Jigsaw's lair, a grieving father, Jeff (Angus Macfadyen) is given the barbed opportunity to fulfill his dreams of revenge. Like so many before him, Jeff lives down to Jigsaw's expectations … with dire consequences for the people he loves.
SAW III opened nationwide on Friday, October 27, 2006. It was the weekend's #1 film with a box office tally of $33.6 million, the biggest opening in Lionsgate history. It spent 4 weeks in the U.S. Top Ten, and was the most profitable horror film of 2006, with domestic theatrical box office receipts of $80.2 million. SAW III's international box office receipts totaled over $100 million, and it marked the first Lionsgate film to open at #1 in Great Britain, where it took in $4.9 million in its first weekend. SAW III was released on DVD/home video on January 23, 2007, debuting at #1 on the charts, selling 1.6 million units in the U.S. and Canada on its first day and 2.5 million units in its first week. It is on track to become the best-selling horror DVD of 2007. SAW III was nominated for the 2007 Saturn Award for Best Horror Film by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA; star Tobin Bell was nominated for the 2007 MTV Movie Award for Best Villain; Bell and Shawnee Smith received a joint Spike TV Scream Award nomination for Most Vile Villain (awards ceremony to be held October 23, 2007).
SAW IV
Director: Darren Lynn Bousman;
Screenplay: Patrick Melton & Marcus Dunstan
Story by Patrick Melton & Marcus Dunstan and Thomas Fenton
Fans may well be wondering what SAW IV holds, given that Jigsaw died at the end of SAW III. Though SAW IV is not a prequel, Jigsaw remains a prominent character. How SAW IV solves this dilemma is just part of the fun. Says director Darren Lynn Bousman, "Jigsaw's death in SAW III left us with a major creative challenge, but also a very exciting one. We had to do something really smart and different with this movie, lest we fall prey to sequel-itis or self-parody. SAW IV became an opportunity to up the ante and go even deeper into Jigsaw's story, his philosophies and obsessions. Given who Jigsaw is and what he's done, we think it makes for quite a horrifying journey."
GIVING TIL IT HURTS: THE ANNUAL SAW BLOOD DRIVE
The SAW franchise is not only about big-screen blood; it also about the blood that saves lives. With the release of the first SAW in 2004, Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures embarked on a cutting-edge promotion tailored specifically to the franchise's profile: a nationwide SAW blood drive that exhorts fans to "Give Til It Hurts" to benefit the Red Cross. The SAW "Give Til It Hurts" Blood Drive has become a key element of the SAW franchise, as much a part of its annual rituals as the Halloween premiere date. Each year brings a new ad campaign photographed by Tim Palen, Lionsgate Co-President of Theatrical Marketing and fine art photographer, and featuring the SAW nurses, seductive angels of questionable mercy and considerable visual impact. In the first three years of the blood drive, SAW filmgoers donated nearly 38,000 pints of blood to help save as many as 112,500 lives.
This year, the SAW "Give Til It Hurts" Blood Drive has acquired two important new partners, the American Red Cross and Yahoo!, to help make this year's campaign is bigger, better and more bloodily ambitious than ever. Lionsgate and the American Red Cross entered into their first formal partnership to administer the SAW IV Blood Drive on a nationwide basis. The national organization will join local Red Cross chapters in setting up donation centers, a commitment that will more than quadruple the number of centers, from 250 to 1200. SAW star Tobin Bell is featured in several PSA's advertising the event.
Meanwhile, Yahoo! is providing massive online support for the SAW IV Blood Drive as Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures' key online partner. In addition to providing hundreds of millions of impressions across Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Mail, and Yahoo Movies, Yahoo! is also hosting the Blood Drive website. By searching for "Saw Blood Drive" on Yahoo!, users can access the SAW IV Blood Drive website, which features a branded, interactive Yahoo! Map that allows users to find the closest Blood Drive to their geographic location. In addition to the interactive map, users can watch the Blood Drive PSA with Tobin Bell, grab branded downloads, and tell a friend about the Blood Drive.

ABOUT THE CAST
TOBIN BELL (Jigsaw)
Whether you know him as Jigsaw in the wildly successful SAW movies, Nordic in THE FIRM or even Ted Kaczynski in UNABOMBER - THE REAL STORY, Tobin Bell has displayed an uncanny - and occasionally chilling - ability to burrow deep into a character's psyche. Tobin's longevity and chameleon-like ability to assume any role has placed him in the upper echelon of consummate professional actors. His success as the star of the SAW movies is a fitting reward for almost 30 years spent appearing in movies and television shows, mainly in character roles.
Starting with the role of FBI agent Ernest Stokes in MISSISSIPPI BURNING (1988), Tobin Bell has played a long line of interesting characters on both sides of the law: JFK conspirator David Ferrie in RUBY, Mendoza in IN THE LINE OF FIRE, the riveting Nordic in THE FIRM, gunfighter Dog Kelly in THE QUICK AND THE DEAD, Lucian Morano in SERIAL KILLER, a parole officer in GOODFELLAS, the voice of Zaragosa in DreamWorks's ROAD TO EL DORADO, and roles in "Overnight Delivery", HBO's "The Fourth Floor", "Good Neighbor", "Black Mask 2", "Loose Cannons", "Malice", and "Powerplay."
Tobin is a familiar face to viewers of TV movies and dramas (though comedy fans will recognize him as Ron from "Seinfeld"). Tobin has been a prominent guest star on some of the most critically acclaimed and popular dramas of the last decade: as attorney Nathan Volk on the NBC drama "Revelations", with Bill Pullman, Natasha McElone and John Rhys-Davies; as Peter Kingsley in five episodes of "24"; as Agent Dreyer on "Alias"; and as Karl Storm in one of the fans' favorite episodes of "Walker: Texas Ranger." Tobin has also appeared on "The West Wing", "The Guardian", "The Sopranos", "Charmed", "Once and Again", "X-Files", "Stargate", "Silk Stalkings", "ER", "La Femme Nikita", "NYPD Blue", "Murder One", and "Chicago Hope". His resume also includes the television movies-of-the-week ONE HOT SUMMER NGIHT, BABYSITTER'S SEDUCTION, MORTAL FEAR, and DEEP RED.
Tobin comes by some of his acting skill naturally; his mother is the British actress Eileen Bell. But Tobin also learned from the best, studying with Lee Strasberg and Ellen Burstyn at the New York's Actor Studio and with Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse. On the New York stage Tobin has appeared at the New York Shakespeare Festival, the New York Public Theater, Ensemble Studio Theater, and Playwright's Horizons.
Tobin was born in New York City and raised in Weymouth, Mass. As befits the star of "thinking men's horror movies," Tobin is a graduate of Boston University, with a master's degree in Environmental Education from Montclair State College. Hobbies include playing the guitar, taking wildlife photographs and making frequent climbing trips to the Presidential Range of New Hampshire's White Mountains. Also a writer, Tobin has completed several screenplays and stage plays. He is married, with two children, and splits his time between homes in New York and Los Angeles.
