Description

This is a pencil drawing of Bill Oberst Jr. I used a photo taken by Canadian artist Ann de Haas for the model.

Bill and I have known each other for about 13 years. I first met him when he came to a local theatre for a performance of Lewis Grizzard. Bill is making his fame in Hollywood and is a up and coming actor. He is also one of the nicest and most respectful people you could ever meet.

Bill Oberst Jr, the name is one that you seem to see everytime you turn around in the world of indie horror, and with good reason! Bill Oberst Jr is one of the hardest working and most sought after men in the industry, bringing with him an unmistakable look, a work ethic that is hard to equal with an incredible depth of talent that is a thing of beauty to watch on screen.
If you look at Mr. Obersts's IMBD you find a filmography that is almost a bit confusing, full of twists and turns, with deep roots in theatre, a strong faith, he has played Jesus, JFK, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain and Lewis Gizzard(just to name a few), Oberst also has a comical side which was proven with his one man tour Stand Up! When Comedy was Funny. So with such strong roots in stage and historical pieces how did he find his way to horror and who should we thank for it?!

Well it started when he moved from stage to small screen in the tv movie documentary Shermans March. He played none other than General William Tecumseh Sherman, a role that garnered him some much deserved attention, begining him down his current path. Since then his roles have ranged from lead to uncredited cameos, with everything in between. He has won over audiences on the tv, big screen, and across media platforms. Many are likely familiar with him through either the award winning FaceBook App, Take This Lollipop, where Oberst Jr plays the role of "The FaceBook Stalker", or his numerous indie horror roles. I highly recommend fans check out his work outside of the genre too, its just as powerful as the performances that we love him for in genre. I, for instance, watched him in The Shunning recently, and was literally moved to tears by his performance alone. That is what makes Bill Oberst Jr so special, he is a raw emotional rollercoaster that brings a life of its own to EVERY production he graces, elevating what ever production he is a part of!
