Bill Jacobson
Acting
1965-02-02 · Tacoma - Washington - USA
Bill Jacobson grew up in the small Northwest city of Tacoma. He first started acting at the age of 10 doing school theater on a regular basis. His acting teachers always looked to Bill to help carry the performances and felt he had something special that could lead him to discover his talents even more. As he grew to a man he kept up with his acting but slowed down to pursue his interest in athletics. He played high school football where he developed into a promising player. Upon graduating high school he attended Washington State University, where he majored in Journalism and minored in Psychology. His parent didn't have a lot of money and so he was accepted on the work study program and between that and a lot of loans managed to get through almost five years of school. While in school he discovered rugby and fell in love with the game. He also re-discovered his passion for acting and started focusing more on Theatre. He graduated College and started working in the corporate world in the sales arena. He seemed to have a skill in relationship building with his clients and became quite successful. In 1994 Bill had an opportunity to be transfered to Los Angeles with a large company as a territory sales manager. He didn't hesitate, packed his bags and moved down to beautiful Southern California. The next couple of years he focused on the job that brought him there but started feeling anxious about his true passion, acting. He was so close to it, surrounded by it that it started to consume him. He started taking more and more acting classes, putting together head shots, his resume, and started slowly seeking an agent. By 1998 he quit his corporate job, burnt his power ties and started acting. Within the first year of freedom, He joined The Screen Actors Guild, got an agent and landed his first film. Since then Bill has done countless indie films, National commercials, and has co-starred and guest-starred on countless TV shows. He is married and proud father of two very young but spirited rug rats named Jacqueline and Liam. His goal in his career is to inspire his audiences and bring them to that magical place that good projects can do
