Bill
Young
Bill Young was born in Long Island-NY in 1968, and has lived in Detroit, Houston, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Houston, Miami, and Succasunna-NJ (???). He finally settled down after college in beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he resides with his wonderful family, his cock-a-poo and a hamster.
Bill caught the acting bug in elementary school, and performed until his senior year in high school. He has acted in such productions as M*A*S*H, Bye Bye Birdie, Once Upon a Mattress, A Murder is Announced, Damn Yankees, Lil' Abner, Lone Star, Barefoot in the Park and Guys and Dolls. One of his favorite roles was that of the Dentist from Little Shop of Horrors.
Once in college, Bill left his acting days behind him...or so he thought! Years later, he discovered Pendant and the world of voice acting by accident while browsing iTunes. Stumbling across the Pendant website, he saw that auditions were up for a little project called "Blue Harvest". Being a lifelong Star Wars geek, he was compelled to audition, landing several parts and getting hooked on the acting bug again!
Bill enjoys camping, traveling, beer brewing, cooking, making home improvements, Geo-Caching, watching Reality TV, volunteering as a Scout leader, and spending time with his family. He has applied for Survivor and the Amazing Race, and has recently taken up running in "UrbanDare" races. He will soon be training for a 10-day high-adventure hike with his son at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.
