William, an accomplished actor, has garnered widespread recognition for his outstanding performances in Hell or High Water, Crazy Heart, and Breaking Bad. Born and raised in the picturesque state of New Mexico, his fascination with acting began at a tender age of 8, when he took to the stage in a local library production of a play revolving around the renowned composer Mozart.
Initially, William was cast as Mozart's father, but during the first rehearsal, the director discovered that he was shorter than the young actor playing Mozart. Consequently, the roles were reversed, and William found himself assuming the lead role, marking the beginning of his lifelong passion for acting.
As he grew older, William's talent and dedication earned him a theatre scholarship to the University of New Mexico, where he honed his craft. Later, he further refined his skills in film acting in Los Angeles, under the guidance of Charles Conrad, a prominent instructor who had been a teaching assistant to the renowned Sanford Meisner.
Throughout his illustrious career, William has had the privilege of sharing the screen with an impressive array of talented individuals, including 7 Oscar winners and 7 Emmy winners, as well as many esteemed creators from the worlds of film, television, and theatre in New Mexico.
In addition to his impressive filmography, William is also a successful stage actor, having appeared in over 45 productions throughout his home state.
