Keith Powell is an American television actor who is best known for his role as Toofer on the NBC sitcom "30 Rock".

In the spring of 2007, while working as a recurring character on "30 Rock", he shot an ABC pilot called "Judy's Got A Gun". It was subsequently not picked up for the Fall 2007 season, and Powell returned to "30 Rock", where he was promoted to a series regular.

He is also the Producing Artistic Director of Contemporary Stage Company, a summer theater in Wilmington, Delaware. He has produced/starred in/directed shows with Lynn Redgrave, Jasmine Guy, Keith David, Richard Easton, Duncan Sheik, and Sean Patrick Thomas.

In October 2008, Powell launched and starred in a self-funded web series called "Keith Powell Directs a Play" chronicling Powell’s foray into directing Uncle Vanya at a fictional repertory theatre group. The series coincides with an actual stage production that he is directing of Whisper House in March 2009.
