He was a very talented and accomplished artist.
He was also something special in Hollywood - a really nice guy.
No surprise his transition to acting stardom was different than most – Bill started out working in film production as part of the crew (in the art department), and eventually made his way to performing in front of the camera.

I’ve been in and around this business almost my entire life. In all those years, the only time I shamelessly behaved like a total fanboy was with Bill. At one point I couldn’t resist and asked him to recite one of my favorite lines in one of my favorite films of all time, Aliens.
Without missing a beat he did it for me.
It was so cool. I was beside myself hearing him say the words.
The thing I need to point out was how Bill seemed to be equally as high knowing he had made my day.
“Game Over.”
I can’t believe the news. A truly wonderful guy… is gone.
* I'm aware the news of Fangoria and it's future. I wanted to post my reaction last week, but working a project 24/7 has prevented me from sharing my thoughts.
