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". "I saw acting as a much needed creative outlet for a class clown working a highly unfunny profession". As a B-52 Aircraft Commander he flew combat in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He retired from the USAF Reserves after 20 years of service. Believing "acting class is my batting practice" he currently studies with Drama Inc. in Atlanta.
