KEITH HAMILTON COBB

 As Tyr Anasazi  

Keith Hamilton Cobb stars as Tyr Anasazi, a member of a subspecies of humanity classified as the Nietzscheans on “Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda,” the weekly science fiction action drama from Tribune Entertainment that first aired in national syndication in 2000.

Cobb is best known to audiences for his role on the hit ABC daytime drama “All My Children.” His portrayal of Noah Keefer earned him a Soap Opera Digest Award for Best Newcomer, as well as a Daytime Emmy Award nomination. In addition, Cobb was voted one of People Magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People in the World 1996.”

After a tremendously successful run in the hit daytime drama, Cobb appeared in an episode of “Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” where ironically enough, in a spoof of the daytime genre, he starred as a soap opera actor who was fired by the show’s diva. Cobb has also amassed a number of guest appearances on various television series including the action-adventure hit “BeastMaster”/Tribune Entertainment, “Suddenly Susan”/Warner Bros./NBC, and “Boston Common”/Warner Bros./NBC.

Cobb honed his acting skills at the prestigious Circle in the Square and Playwright’s Horizons acting studios in New York. His impressive list of theatrical credits includes “Othello,” “Coriolanus,” “Hamlet,” “Julius Caesar,” “Romeo and Juliet,” and numerous others.

In his first feature film role, Cobb portrayed the bodyguard of a Mafioso in the independent film “Astonished.” He also won the starring role in the independent feature “Eyes Beyond Seeing.”

Cobb’s love for acting stems from his devotion to the works of William Shakespeare. He served for two years as a judge of the National Shakespeare Competition. Cobb taught for six years at Youth Theatre Interactions, an after school performing arts program in Yonkers, New York that introduces children to the arts. He also spent several years at Playwright’s Theatre of New Jersey, where he taught playwriting, directed and performed in the plays of youthful offenders in the New Jersey correctional system.
