Keith Hamilton Cobb

He is best known for his roles as the ruthless Nietzschean mercenary Tyr Anasazi in the science-fiction series Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda[3] from 2000 to 2005 and as Noah Keefer on All My Children[4][5] from 1994 to 1996.

Cobb was born in North Tarrytown, New York; he graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in 1987. A classically trained actor, he appeared in a number of Shakespearean productions in the New York area before breaking into television in the mid 1990s.[1] One of his first movies was the 1995 film Eyes Beyond Seeing[6] in which he plays a mental patient who claims to be Jesus Christ.

In 1996, Cobb was named on People magazine's annual list of the "50 most beautiful people".[7]

In 1999, Cobb was in two episodes of the Beastmaster television series,[8] portraying a character very similar to his character from Andromeda.

He left the Andromeda TV series at the start of the fourth season,[9] citing dissatisfaction over the development of his character.

Cobb's 2015 play American Moor explores the experiences of Black actors performing texts as written and directed by white writers and directors.[10] The play garnered great academic acclaim.[11] The play debuted Off-Broadway at the Cherry Lane Theatre in August 2019.[12]

He continues to act in theater productions, including roles as Oberon and Duke Theseus in A Midsummer Night's Dream in New York's Geva Theater Center,[13] and the bigoted Juror #10 in Twelve Angry Men at Briggs Opera House in White River Junction, Vermont.[14]

In 1995 Cobb won the Soap Opera Digest Award - Outstanding Male Newcomer[15][16] for his role of Noah Keefer on All My Children and in 1996 won the Soap Opera Digest Award - Hottest Soap Couple for his work on All My Children (shared with Sydney Penny).[17][18]
