Career
Bell's "naturally gifted and curious leading actor" with a "quiet, mesmeric brand of acting," Michael Coveney described him as a "naturally gifted and unusually reserved leading actor." He appeared on television in Harold Pinter's first film appearance, A Night Out (1960), while in the same year, he appeared in Joseph Losey's The Criminal. He continued to appear in British New Wave films of the early 1960s, including The Kitchen (1961) and The L-Shaped Room (1962) with Leslie Caron. At an awards ceremony for the second, he inebriated a speech by Prince Philip by screaming "Tell us a funny tale," to table companions Richard Attenborough and Bryan Forbes' obvious embarrassment. Though the Duke of Edinburgh mocked the heckle in good humor, retorting "I recommend you engage a professional comedian" as part of Bell's fame as a hellraiser and "did little to advance [his] career." H.M.S. was one of his decade's best films. Defiant (1962) A Prize of Arms (1962), Ballad in Blue (1965), He Who Rides a Tiger (1965) and The Long Day's Dying (1968).
He made a worldwide headline when portraying Adolf Eichmann in the Emmy-winning tv series Holocaust, and he received a BAFTA award for the series Out, in which he played convicted armed robber Frank Ross.
Bell returned to form with a later career revival, appearing in many British films, including Wish You Were Here, Peter Greenaway's Books, Swing, and The Krays, where he appeared in Jack "The Hat" McVitie, one of the Kray twins' murder victims. In 1991, he played the dour owner of a run-down seaside waxworks museum in the Thames TV sitcom Hope It Rains, written by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey and directed by John Howard Davies. It was a thirteen-episo series.
Despite the fact that he preferred to avoid live performances, Bell's few stage appearances included a performance in Bent, Martin Sherman's comedy about homosexuality, which was staged at the Royal Court Theatre in 1979. Horst played opposite Ian McKellen's Max, who played him. The play's investigation of homosexuality, which occurred in a Nazi death camp, was shocking for many theatregoers at the time and revealed a previously undiscovered area of Nazi brutality that had never been considered.
Bell appeared in the ITV series Prime Suspect opposite Helen Mirren in the first (1991) and final (2006) series, the latter being one of his last on-screen appearances. Bell's second BAFTA nomination, thanks to his gripping portrayal of the tumultuous character in 1993.
