Drake Bell, the former child star who rose to fame with his role as Drake Parker in the hit Nickelodeon series "Drake & Josh," has been making headlines once again. This time, it's not for his iconic TV show or movies, but for his appearance on the popular singing competition, "The Masked Singer." As the Ice King, Bell's masked persona kept viewers and judges guessing until his eventual elimination on Episode 8.
