Bill started acting after being approached by a casting director while shopping with his children in Shreveport, Louisiana. His first principal role was in the 2008 release "Private Valentine". He retired from the USAF Reserves after 20 years of service. As a B-52 Aircraft Commander he saw combat in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. When not acting he works as a 737 Captain for a major airline in NYC. Believing "acting class is my batting practice" he studies whenever and wherever he can.
