He worked onThe Verdict(1982) for two weeks as a courtroom reporter in the trial. He recollected it being a "great opportunity" watchingSidney LumetandPaul Newman,while also learning the technical aspect of acting.[13]For every role he plays, starting with the initial reading of the script to the final shot of a production, he keeps a journal of various questions about and motivations for his character. "I write all kinds of stream-of-consciousness things that help me."[9]He would have his first speaking role in the 1983 filmSvengaliplaying a waiter with three lines.[13]The same year Bell had a small speaking role as a reporter in the dramaSophie's Choice.In the mid-1980s, Bell said "I was doing off-Broadway plays three nights a week, working on my craft. And a director at the Actors Studio said, 'You know, Tobin you've been doing that for a while. I think you should go to Hollywood and play bad guys'."[12]Bell moved toLos Angelesand was cast in his first feature film,Mississippi Burningin 1988, as "tough and street smart" FBI Agent Stokes.[12]

It just depends on if you can do it well you can do it. There's a certain thing that we've done inSawwhere it's like pieces of a puzzle. It happens out of sync. So that's how it's done. "[28]He provided his voice and likeness for the Jigsaw character in the 2009Sawvideo gameand its 2010 sequel,Saw II: Flesh & Blood.[29][30]
