My Take

Bill Pullman is my favorite kind of actor: the one who took the long road. A theater degree, a teaching stint at a university, and then a career built on quiet authority rather than vanity. He can deliver the most famous fictional presidential speech in movie history and make it land without a trace of irony, then disappear into David Lynch's nightmares like a different man entirely. That range without showiness is rare. I suspect his years as a professor taught him to serve the material instead of himself, and it shows in every role. Hollywood needs more careers shaped like his.

Overview

William Pullman (born December 17, 1953) is an American actor. After graduating with a Master of Fine Arts degree in theater, he was an adjunct professor at Montana State University before deciding to pursue acting.
