<h3>2004–2010: Saw breakthrough role</h3>
Bell's <a href="/facts/Breakthrough_role/Wxa315KX">breakthrough role</a> came in 2004 when he was cast as <a href="/facts/Jigsaw_(Saw_character)/FHv78a8H">John Kramer / Jigsaw</a> in the horror film, <a href="/facts/Saw_(2004_film)/KWWXWucx">Saw</a>. The film is about John Kramer who is an <a href="/facts/Engineer/ph4TnHnG">engineer</a>-turned-<a href="/facts/Serial_killer/3Sr3d6Vo">serial killer</a> that wants others to appreciate the value of life by placing them in twisted "games" of physical and psychological torture.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a> The film was <a href="/facts/James_Wan/bWDxTEHI">James Wan</a>'s directorial debut and was shot in 18 days on a budget of $1.2 million. Bell spent two weeks lying on a floor and had very few lines, but his role was pivotal to the film. He gives two reasons for joining the film; the opportunity to work with <a href="/facts/Danny_Glover/LWMEzVkv">Danny Glover</a> for the first time and thinking very highly of the film's ending.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a> <a href="/facts/Lionsgate_Films/w69hYAud">Lionsgate</a> acquired the worldwide distribution rights for the film days before its release at the <a href="/facts/2004_Sundance_Film_Festival/dsJx1hdr">2004 Sundance Film Festival</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> While initially getting a <a href="/facts/Direct-to-video/p9xIx0TC">direct-to-video</a> release, test screenings that March turned out positive prompting Lionsgate to release it theatrically that Halloween.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a> It became a box office success, grossing $103 million worldwide.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a> Even though Bell would join the first film with no intention of a second film being made, as a result of the financial success, six direct sequels were released on every October from 2005 to 2010.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a>
The following year, Bell starred in <a href="/facts/Saw_II/hESftjS2">Saw II</a>, which he said was because "the character of John Kramer was not fully defined and he had an opportunity as an actor to take him to the next level".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a> In 2006's <a href="/facts/Saw_III/lHycRgjC">Saw III</a> his character was killed off, however he later signed on for up to five sequels.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a> He would return to <a href="/facts/Saw_IV/5D3syf9K">Saw IV</a>, <a href="/facts/Saw_V/1KumeIGK">Saw V</a>, <a href="/facts/Saw_VI/qf9jLlUS">Saw VI</a> and <a href="/facts/Saw_3D/MJYhx5V3">Saw 3D</a> where Jigsaw is featured in flashbacks, some focusing on his origin.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a> He explained, "Saw doesn't happen in a straight line so, you know, in Hollywood everything's possible. It just depends on if you can do it well you can do it. There's a certain thing that we've done in Saw where it's like pieces of a puzzle. It happens out of sync. So that's how it's done."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a> He provided his voice and likeness for the Jigsaw character in the 2009 <a href="/facts/Saw_(video_game)/HHpW3xVU">Saw video game</a> and its 2010 sequel, <a href="/facts/Saw_II%3a_Flesh_%2526_Blood/MUlJmHQR">Saw II: Flesh & Blood</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a>

For his role as Jigsaw, Bell received <a href="/facts/MTV_Movie_%2526_TV_Awards/A5n60PI9">MTV Movie Awards</a> nominations in 2006 and 2007 for "Best Villain".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> He won "Best Butcher" in the <a href="/facts/Fuse_(TV_channel)/NfCeztzz">Fuse</a>/<a href="/facts/Fangoria/XVz1vbq6">Fangoria</a> Chainsaw Awards and was given the "Best Villain in a Film Series" title at the 2010 Chiller-Eyegore Awards.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> The Saw franchise went on to become one of the <a href="/facts/List_of_highest-grossing_horror_films/zcrQJjTb">highest-grossing horror franchises of all time</a> making, as of 2021, over $1 billion worldwide.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a> The character Jigsaw has been labeled a horror icon.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a>
