Biography

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.

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.
