Drew Tyler Bell has been entertaining since he was only 6 years old, which is when he began taking dancing lessons. Soon after, the Wooster, OH, native added several musical instruments to his repertoire. At 15, he considered becoming a professional pianist, but chose to get into acting instead. His instincts proved to be right, as he soon landed roles on TV, as well as several movies, including Jeepers Creepers II in 2003.
The next year, when he was only 18, Bell was cast as Ridge and Taylor's son on B&B. While his character may have a serious side, the actor is known for his offbeat sense of humor.

Memorable Quotes
"I'm not the most muscular guy, and I don't claim to be. A week before we were about to shoot that scene, they said, 'Oh, Drew, by the way, you're going to have your shirt off, so you might want to work out a little bit.' I was like, 'News flash! You don't build up muscles in one week.' Now, I'm working out."— On doing his first shirtless scene, Soap Opera Digest, 7/5/05
"Even though I never watched soaps before [joining B&B], I thought it sounded really interesting. I just felt like I was at a great age for this. It would be three years of intense training that you couldn't get anywhere else." — Digest, 11/9/04
