Bill's journey into acting began when a casting director unexpectedly approached him while he was out shopping with his children in Shreveport, Louisiana, a chance encounter that would ultimately lead to his first principal role in the 2008 film "Private Valentine". For Bill, acting served as a much-needed creative outlet, a way to channel his natural charisma and comedic talents, which had previously been stifled by his mundane profession.
Prior to his life in the spotlight, Bill had a distinguished career in the United States Air Force Reserves, where he served as a B-52 Aircraft Commander. During his time in the military, he flew combat missions in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, demonstrating his bravery and dedication to his country.
After 20 years of service, Bill retired from the USAF Reserves, and it was then that he discovered his passion for acting. Recognizing the importance of honing his craft, he began studying with Drama Inc. in Atlanta, a renowned institution that has helped him refine his skills and prepare for the demands of the entertainment industry. As he continues to pursue his acting career, Bill believes that his experience in acting class is akin to batting practice, allowing him to fine-tune his skills and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.
