Bill Mondy was born and raised in Rochester, New York, as the youngest of three brothers. His father, Don, was a WWII fighter pilot stationed in Germany, where he met Bill's mother, Wilhelmine. Growing up, Bill described himself as average in most aspects, including grades, sports, and looks, until he discovered his passion for acting by auditioning for the school play.
Bill's early interest in acting led him to enroll in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC),but he ultimately decided to pursue a career in acting instead. He won a full scholarship to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he earned his BFA. Later, he earned an MFA with a full scholarship to New York University's Graduate Acting program, a program renowned for producing Oscar, Emmy, and Tony award-winning actors.
After graduating, Bill performed off-Broadway in a revival of Lanford Wilson's The Rimers of Eldritch at The Second Stage. He went on to take on leading roles in regional theaters across the country, including The Arena Stage, The Actor's Theatre of Louisville, The Huntington Theater in Boston, and South Coast Repertory.
Bill's then agent moved to Los Angeles, prompting him to follow and start a career in film and television. He has since played a wide range of characters, including cops, killers, and bad guys on TV shows such as LA Law, Touched By an Angel, and UC Undercover. He has also appeared in numerous films, including The Crow: Salvation, I Spy, and Miracle.
In addition to his on-camera work, Bill has also established a successful voice-over career. His first voice-over job was narrating a series of AM radio medical ads for an editor friend. Since then, he has narrated numerous shows, including Missing Persons: The First 48 on A&E, Last Day of the Dinosaurs on Discovery, and The Hunt for Dark Matter on CuriosityStream.
Bill has also voiced many radio, television, and digital campaigns, created characters for animated series, and served as a promo voice for Disney and CBS. He currently splits his time between Los Angeles and his home studio in Kauai, Hawaii, where he spends most of his time behind the mic.
