After serving in the Air Force as a radar technician, the Cleveland-born actor went to New York to audition for several TV shows.

His first TV rôle was in ''Vegetable Soup'' and his first movie rôle was as in ''Film/TheTakingOfPelhamOneTwoThree''. He's also in ''Film/DemolitionMan'' and ''Film/ThatThingYouDo''.

Throughout his career he's often been called upon to play older characters in varying degrees of UnderageCasting. For example, on the latter seasons of ''Series/{{JAG}}'' in the early 2000s, he played Captain Turner, who during World War II was a newly ordained chaplain. But Cobbs was born in 1934, so the actor was not even a teenager when that war ended.

Definitely not to be confused with the disgraced Creator/BillCosby.
