Stage Credits so far are The Shakespeare
Theater, Washington, DC, production of "Coriolanus"
in the year 2000 playing Tullus Aufidius.
The following is copied straight from
The
Shakspeare Theater website.
Robert Aguirre-Sacasa Said in Part:
Keith Hamilton Cobb, returning to The
Shakespeare Theatre after five years to play Coriolanus~{!/~}s
rival, the Volscian general Tullus Aufidius, tells
the story of how he came to be an actor in a disarming
manner, without pretension. "I was 18, writing
a lot of esoteric, self-indulgent poetry," he
begins. "I started studying Shakespeare from
a literary point of view and was having a really tough
time with it, wondering why exactly."
Two years later, while attending a
Broadway performance of Othello with Christopher Plummer
as Iago and James Earl Jones as the Moor, the young
would-be poet came to a realization: "The reason
Shakespeare wasn~{!/~}t coming off the page when I
read it was because you weren~{!/~}t supposed to be
reading it, you were supposed to be doing it,"
he explains. "So I decided acting was the direction
I needed to go in." Cobb, who had stifled the
imperative to act as a young boy, nurtured it at New
York University, building skills he strengthened at
the New Jersey Shakespeare Festival, where he understudied~{!*~}of
all things~{!*~}the role of Aufidius. "By that
point," Cobb says significantly, "My hair
had begun to grow."
...
Like a master tactician, Cobb has parlayed
his strengths~{!*~}not just his hair, but his striking
looks and imposing stage presence~{!*~}into a successful
acting career that began, truly, in regional theatres
around the country, usually performing in the plays
of Shakespeare. "That was where people were taking
the chances in cross-racial casting," he explains.
"When you get into the hugely mythic realm of
Shakespeare, anybody can be pretty much anybody~{!-~}as
long as you~{!/~}re talented." At The Shakespeare
Theatre, for instance, during its 1993-94 season,
Cobb appeared as Tybalt in director Barry Kyle~{!/~}s
Romeo and Juliet and Octavius Caesar in Joe Dowling~{!/~}s
Julius Caesar.
...
Since leaving All My Children, Cobb
has worked steadily in television; all the while,
however, he has been itching for a chance to return
to his passion, the theatre. "The Romeo years
are now behind me. No one is going to hire me to do
Romeo anymore and I never got to do it, so there is
cause for lament," he only half-jokes. "The
Lear years come later, but right now I~{!/~}m in my
warrior years, my Brutus years, my Cassius years,
my Aufidius years."
"They're good years," Cobb
says. "And great roles. I'm totally jazzed."
