Biography
Born in Hornell, New York, Bill Pullman is one of seven children. While most of his siblings followed in their parents’ footsteps in the medical profession, Pullman attended the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Directing. After graduating, he became a professor at Montana State University, where he ran the theater department for two years.
Pullman then went to New York, where he performed in a number of Off-Broadway plays and in regional theater. He got good notices for his performance in an off-Broadway revival of Sam Shepard's “Curse of the Starving Class” with Kathy Bates. He then moved to California and shortly thereafter was offered his debut film role, one of the leads in the hit comedy “Ruthless People.”
Pullman has acted in over 40 motion pictures, including “Spaceballs,” “The Accidental Tourist,” “A League of Their Own,” “Sleepless in Seattle,” “Malice,” “Wyatt Earp,” “The Zero Effect,” “While You Were Sleeping,” “Independence Day,” “Lost Highway,” “Brokedown Palace,” “Igby Goes Down,” “The Grudge,” “Dear Wendy,” and most recently “Alien Autopsy.” He has finished production on the independent film “Nobel Son” directed by Randall Miller and also starring Alan Rickman and Mary Steenburgen.
In television, Pullman directed, produced and starred in “The Virginian” for TNT. This marked Pullman’s directorial debut and garnered critical acclaim for his portrayal of the title character. He also starred in the limited series “Revelations” on NBC.
In 2002 Bill Pullman co-starred with Mercedes Ruehl in Edward Albee’s “The Goat” on Broadway. Pullman’s performance won rave reviews and “The Goat” earned a Tony Award for Best Play.
