Bill has charted a creative journey that has spanned a variety of disciplines. Prior to his feature debut as a writer-director, Bill worked steadily as a stand-up comedian and actor. After cutting his teeth in the NYC and Los Angeles club scenes, Bill headlined regularly in comedy clubs all across the country. Bill studied acting in NY with theater icon Stella Adler and Jack Garfein. As an actor, he appeared in numerous productions on the New York stage. Most memorable for Bill was when he appeared opposite comedy legend and mentor, Milton Berle, in the short-lived Goodnight, Grandpa. Upon his arrival on the west coast, Bill guest starred in a wide spectrum of episodic TV shows, which include Cold Case, Six Feet Under, E.R., 24, L.A. Law, Married with Children, thirtysomething and Matlock, to name a few. He also appeared in the feature films Argo, Lethal Weapon, The Rhunestone and Loverboy, and in his own movie, The Souler Opposite, which he wrote and directed and was acquired by Warner Bros. In recent years, Bill has devoted much of his time to writing and his newest passion, jazz. An accomplished jazz clarinetist, Bill and his sextet recently completed his debut CD, First Point, which is enjoying airplay on KJAZZ 88.1. In addition to The Souler Opposite, Bill has written seven other screenplays that he hopes to direct. He is also president and founder of Buffalo Jump Productions. Bill is a refugee from the San Fernando Valley. He graduated from U.C. Berkeley and attended NYU Grad Film School.
