You\u2019ve probably seen this man in the background of movies, tv shows and in a certain Blockbuster commercial, you\u2019re whole life and not realized it. \n\nBill was recently in a horror parody sequel called They Came Back From Somewhere, he was also in Puppet Master: Doktor Death and so much more. \n\nBill tells his story that is one of a blue collar actor, one that also started in Improv in Chicago back in the 80s. He was a bit of a contrarian earlier on but did find some commercial success in the 90s. You might recognize him from a \u2018Perfect Store\u2019 Blockbuster commercial, which shows up in the Last Blockbuster documentary as well as in the background of Home Alone.\n\nHe considers his first feature to be Wildcats, (the movie with Goldie Hawn) where he played a referee. He\u2019s done America\u2019s Funniest People and mystery series like Mysteries Unknown. \n\nAfter a break, when his family came along, he returned to his Improv roots, teaching in 2014. He did some sketch shows in Second City, but because of his contradictory nature, Bill never sought the main stage there, like everyone else who aspired to act. But he was definitely inspired by a Second City success, Harold Ramis and actually auditioned for Ground Hog Day, three times.\n\nBill has a film streaming now called You\u2019re Out, it\u2019s not horror but you get to watch him play a huge a**hole in it! If you like baseball flicks, check it out. He will also be in the psychological thriller, Unseen (directed by Steve Merlo). Plus a slasher flick called Final Summer (John Isberg), check it out!! Bill has quite a few exciting projects coming out. It\u2019s been a winding road but Bill is on his second wind of his career.\n\nFollow him on IG to keep up with him.
