Actor Drake Bell Is Missing and ‘Considered Endangered’

Actor Drake Bell, known for his role in the Nickelodeon series “Drake & Josh,” is reportedly missing and endangered, according to a statement released by the Daytona Beach Police Department on Thursday morning.

Bell, whose real name is Jared Drake Bell, was last seen driving a 2022 gray BMW in the area of Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, Florida, on April 12, 2023, just before 9 p.m.

The police are asking the public for any information on Bell’s whereabouts, and they can contact Detective Jayson Wallace at 386-671-5207. The police did not provide further information on the situation, and Bell’s manager has yet to respond to the request for comment.

Bell, 36, rose to fame with his role in “Drake & Josh,” which ran for four seasons and 56 episodes from 2004 to 2007. He also appeared on the network’s “The Amanda Show” before leading his own series. After “Drake & Josh,” Bell played Timmy Turner in a live-action “The Fairly OddParents” trilogy.

In June 2021, Bell pleaded guilty to a felony charge of attempting to endanger children and a misdemeanour charge of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.

He was sentenced to two years’ probation and 200 hours of community service. The charges stemmed from an incident in December 2017, where Bell had a meeting with a 15-year-old girl following months of social media messages that were “at times…sexual in nature.”

In 2015, Bell was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), with bail set at $20,000. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanour and spent four days in jail.

The news of Bell’s disappearance has caused concern among fans and the entertainment industry. The police investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to come forward.
