Bill Jacobs

Bill Jacobs is a film and stage director, producer, writer, playwright, cinematographer and actor/singer/voiceover artist now living full-time in Wellfleet. Bill worked many years at Columbia, Warner Bros., and Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles before starting his media production company, Shooting Star Creativeworks. Currently, Bill is in the final stages of postproduction on the independent feature film, When the Moon Was Twice as Big, a project that he wrote and directed, and coproduced with his husband, John Killwey.

As an actor and voiceover artist, Bill has worked on projects for entertainment icons such as Disney and Sid & Marty Krofft, as well as providing character voices and narration for countless commercials, documentaries, short films, and corporate image pieces from Los Angeles to New York City. And in what seems like a lifetime ago, Bill graced the stage as Harold Hill in The Music Man, Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside in Auntie Mame, Henry Drummond in Inherit the Wind, and King Arthur in Camelot.  In more recent times, Bill has appeared at the Cape Rep, Academy Playhouse, and The Pilgrim House theaters, performing in The Helltown Players “More Little Devils,” an evening of short plays (one of which, Convergence, Bill also wrote and directed).
