From Bill: “I have been in love with acting since the age of but only went professional 5 years ago. My career is going much better than I thought it ever could when I made my decision so late in the game. My range is that of the late Phil Hoffman and James Gandolfini as well as the current W. Earl Brown. I have done a number of student and short independent films as well as a major supporting role in a feature. Lately most of my work has been on TV. I have played detectives, as well as a couple of murderers, on Investigation Discovery and Discovery shows, as well as appearing in major and supporting roles on The Travel Channel, Animal Planet, Spike TV, and the Oxygen Network. Playing Walter Peacock in ‘Shithead’ is a high point in my career. Working with Mike Morelli was wonderful and we also had great talks about Cinema and directors when the camera wasn’t rolling.”
