William's episode is out now and we're so excited to share it with you! William’s theater credits include The Skin Of Our Teeth at Lincoln Center, and productions at Signature Theatre Company, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and Dallas Theater Center. His film work includes The Normal Heart for HBO, and you can currently can catch him on The Flight Attendant on HBOMax. We loved hearing his story of becoming an actor and how his experiences of getting an MFA from Yale School of Drama and his work at Oregon Shakespeare Festival shaped his career as a performer. It was also thrilling to hear about his Broadway debut in "The Skin of Our Teeth" this year at Lincoln Center, from the audition process, to booking the job, to performing, both in the ensemble and an understudy track! He's also got some exciting upcoming projects, including Twelfth Night with the Classical Theatre of Harlem and a film starring Billy Porter and Luke Evans. We also talked about his identity as a Jewish Person of Color and the recent grant he received from Reboot which will allow him to further develop his solo show. Bill's humor, humility, and honesty is so refreshing and inspiring, and we know you'll enjoy listening to this conversation. Enjoy!
