He continues to be an outspoken advocate for those suffering from addiction and their families.

Personal life

Bell is the brother of Mark Bell and Mike Bell, both of whom were featured in Bigger, Stronger, Faster*.[1] In 1997, Bell got his Bachelor of Arts in movie making from the University of Southern California.[2]

Bell currently lives in California. He founded his movie company Bigger Stronger Faster Inc, which is for making educational documentaries, films, and TV shows.[3] After a hip replacement surgery in his younger years, he began using prescription drugs, which he struggled with for many years as an addict. The struggle went on for many years until he had gotten clean during the filming of his recent movie, Prescription Thugs.
