Will's journey to the world of acting was a winding one, marked by a passion for the craft that was tempered by a desire to explore other creative outlets. After a successful modeling career that took him to the farthest reaches of the globe, where he had the opportunity to work with renowned photographers such as Bruce Weber and Arthur Elgort, Will eventually decided to settle in New York and leave the catwalk behind.
In the City That Never Sleeps, Will married a native New Yorker and discovered a new sense of belonging. He began to pursue another long-held passion - music - and formed a rock band, playing gigs at iconic venues like CBGB's and drawing inspiration from his idols Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder.
As he navigated this new chapter in his life, Will's friends in the acting community encouraged him to take the leap and audition for a Shakespeare class. And so, he did, finding himself enthralled by the language and poetry of the Bard. This newfound love led him to audition for the prestigious Summer Program at Stella Adler, where he was accepted and began to study Shakespeare in earnest.
The summer was a transformative experience, and Will's instructor, Andrew Wade from the Royal Shakespeare Company, sensed that he had the potential to excel at the highest levels. Andrew encouraged Will to return to his native England and audition for some of the most esteemed drama schools in the country.
With a sense of purpose and determination, Will embarked on this new journey, auditioning for institutions like Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Lamda, RADA, and Rose Bruford. His hard work and talent ultimately paid off, as he was accepted into Rose Bruford on an unconditional scholarship. With his future bright and full of promise, Will returned to England to begin his studies as a drama student.
