Stage

William began acting at age ten when he was cast in the role of Billy Bates in the Maesteg Amateur Operatic Society production of Oliver! in 1996. He built up no reputation as a comedy actor through pantomime and musical theatre performances in the local community. He began to accrue significant roles on stage including Chine in West Side Story and Cosmo Brown in Singin' in the Rain for Bridgend County Youth Theatre which lead on to a role in A Chorus Line at the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff as part of the International Festival of Musical Theatre in 2005.

In 2008 he joined Swansea Little Theatre, the company that once counted Dylan Thomas as a member, playing George Milton in Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men at the Dylan Thomas Theatre.[1] The production garnered favourable reviews,[2] earning him a Best Actor nomination at the Glammie Awards in South Wales.[3] He returned to Swansea in 2010 playing the role of Ethan in the musical adaptation of The Full Monty. With positive reviews[4] and a sell-out run at the Dylan Thomas Theatre the show was transferred to the Swansea Grand Theatre for a one-off final performance.
