Born on a strawberry farm in country Victoria, Wil graduated from high school at the early age of 16 and went on to La Trobe University to study Media and Literature.

Deciding that wasn't for him Wil took a couple of years off to travel and work odd jobs. This adventure led to a diverse selection of jobs that included cook, hay bailer, food critic, waiter, paver and personal assistant. With his mind made up about what jobs he didn't want to do, Wil auditioned for NIDA on his return to Australia. He graduated in 2002.

His passion for acting began in high school when he and his friends spent their time making short films. He cast himself in roles including a werewolf and a psychopath and won cinematography and directing awards at short film festivals.

Wil's resume includes NIDA plays The Treatment with Director Mark Gaal, Pericles - Prince of Tyre and television guest roles in White Collar Blue and Macleod's Daughters. Wil also starred in the mini-series, Jessica.

In his spare time Wil loves to play golf and rock climb.
