Despite it being two years after he moved to L.A., Klipstine sites this as the moment he observed the fragility of life and decided a life unpursued is a life unfulfilled.Within a few years he landed his first leading role in a feature. After four callbacks and a grueling final casting session between two finalists, he won the lead in another indie the next year. He has starred in three indies, acted in numerous others along with dozens of shorts, and over twenty plays. Klipstine also studied at the renowned Carter/Thor Acting Studio for 6 years. Classmates included Christina Applegate, Wentworth Miller (Prison Break), Mariana Klaveno (True Blood), Sam Trammell (The Fault in Our Stars), Timothy Omundson (Psych), etc. Will's sophomoric film The Evolution of Andrew Andrews won awards on the festival circuit and received distribution from Vanguard Cinema (domestic) and Go Digital (international).
