From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia user BillMyers3 is an American actor who is a member of AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) and SAG (Screen Actors Guild [1]) under the name of Bill H Myers ([2] and [3]) (his real name is William H. Myers III). Because SAG ([4]) does not allow the same name to be use more than once, Bill Myers had to use his middle initial of H as part of his name. He is usually credited under the name of Bill Myers. He has been married to Claudia Krieger since April 29, 1993.

Actor Will Geer ([5]) of the TV show The Waltons ([6]) was his mentor. His best advice to 18 year old Bill when he wanted to make acting his profession was, "Make sure that you have something to fall back on." On that advice, he started his own production company ([7]) at the age of 20.

Bob Hope [8] awarded him 1st place in a baby contest. He was 1.

He was senior class President in high school. By then he had already worked two years as a radio announcer.

He was a standup comic at the famous Comedy Store on Sunset Strip where comedian Jimmie Walker ([9]) used to introduce him as the "White Shadow."

He worked at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood with actress Charlene Tilton ([10]) when she was 18 and he was 20.

Later on, as an assistant manager at Mann's Chinese Theatre, he hired actress Michele Greene ([11]) for her first job.

The first-ever official audio recording of a live birth in Los Angeles County was performed by Dr. Russell pronouncing the addition of 'Baby Boy Myers' into the world. The recording was made on a yellow 78 rpm record and was a new trend set in the 1950s. Doctors would then smack the baby's bottom so that they would cry and take in their first breaths of air, which clearly made for an auspicious beginning of life.
