Jared Drake Bell, usually known as Drake Bell (born June 27, 1986 in Orange County, California), is an American actor and musician.

Bell's best known TV role to date is on the Nickelodeon show Drake & Josh as "Drake Parker," alongside his fellow The Amanda Show co-star Josh Peck, where the two characters become stepbrothers after Drake's Mom and Josh's Dad marry each other. Before working on Drake & Josh, Bell was known to young television audiences as a cast member on The Amanda Show. He made a guest appearance as himself on Nickelodeon's Zoey 101 which was created by Dan Schneider, also the creator of Drake & Josh.
