Tom Hardy, Director

“I was going with a different age, look and size for the role of  Principal Edwards in The Devil Within but I hired Bill Oberst Jr.  because he’s scary, charming, dedicated, easy to work with and it’s not all about him. Bill actively listens, he’s ready when you are, thoughtful, studied, skilled, collaborative, creative and he gets completely in the role.

Other good qualities about Bill are that he’s focused, on your target, adaptable, resilient and up for anything whenever. He gives you more than you bargained for, has a lot going on in his eyes, accurately uses his physicality, is quick on his feet. In short, he gets it.

The thing I liked most about working with Bill is his dedication to the picture first, last and always. I also appreciated his support, tenacity and understanding. That’s what you get from Bill.

I would recommend Bill to other productions. He can do it for you. He’s scary. He’s charming. I’ve got another role for him.”
