Early Life and Career
Born Wilbert Francisco Cobb on June 16, 1934, in Cleveland, Ohio, Bill Cobb grew up in a modest household.
His father worked in construction, while his mother tended to the home and children. Despite the family's financial limitations, Cobb's cousin, James Baskett, found success in film and voice acting, most notably as Uncle Remus in Disney's "Song of the South" (1946).
After graduating from East Tech High School in Cleveland, Cobb served in the USAF for eight years.
Upon his return to his hometown in 1936, he briefly worked for IBM and sold cars at Central Chevrolet. A fateful encounter with a buyer led him to perform in a play at Karamu House, a local theater. Inspired, Cobb left for New York City in 1970 at the age of 36 to pursue an acting career.
