A rising star in film & TV...representing IBFF as Festival Ambassador
Percy Bell
takes Center Stage
Percy Bell is a compelling and grounded actor known for his emotional range, authenticity, and commanding on-screen presence. He is also an up and coming narrator, with several works available on Audible.
A native of Epps, Louisiana, Percy discovered his passion for storytelling after earning his Bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training from Nicholls State University, during which he also served as an athletic trainer for the New Orleans Saints. Though he began his professional career in sports medicine, his love for performance ultimately led him to pursue acting full-time.
After relocating to Nashville, Percy immersed himself in acting classes and workshops, quickly gaining recognition for his talent and professionalism. His dedication paid off when he secured representation and began booking national commercials, print campaigns, and film roles. Percy’s star continues to rise with standout performances, including a series regular role as Duke in County Rescue, Great American Family’s first original TV series, notable appearances opposite Samuel L. Jackson in The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey on Apple TV+, and his most recent feature, Sinners—directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan—marks a major milestone in his career. This fall, you will also see him recurring as fire fighter Watkins, in 9-1-1: Nashville, premiering this fall on ABC.
