“the modern day answer to the likes of Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney. Yes, I am talking about Bill Oberst, Jr.”
Miguel Rodriguez, Director of Horrible Imaginings Film Festival
“Bill Oberst Jr. won the part of ‘Samuel Lapp,” our stern but loving Amish father, with his amazing audition. He’s a consummate professional. He did his homework and brought his ‘A’ game to every scene that he was in. I can’t say enough about what a terrific actor and a tremendous human being Bill is. I would recommend him to other productions anytime, anywhere.”
Brian Bird, Executive Producer of The Hallmark Channel’s TV-movie “The Shunning”
“There are several things I liked about working with Bill, but I would specifically like to mention his professionalism. He came fully prepared and ready to give his best at any point. And his best was really exceptionally good. He is the kindest and most agreeable person you could ask to work with.”
Marc Fortin, Producer/Director: Ripped Memories
“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.”
Tom Hardy, Director: The Devil Within
“I always thought that Bill Oberst Jr. was a perfect fit for the part of William Tecumseh Sherman…He was the best actor imaginable for the role…Our project benefited from his professionalism, his hard work and his forethought. I would recommend Bill to other productions because he’s a real pro.”
Jason Williams, Executive Producer: Sherman’s March
“The best thing about working with Bill was his willingness to do anything for the benefit of the movie. We had Bill naked, beaten with a baseball bat and driving a bus in the middle of a desert. He never complained once and was always up for more. I would definitely recommend Bill Oberst Jr. to other producers. You could not ask for a more dedicated, professional and talented performer.”
Robert Hayes, Producer: Freakshow Entertainment
“With his distinct look, scary presence, and most importantly, his love for the genre, Oberst is someone who will one day be spoken about in the same breath as Chaney, Karloff, Lugosi, Englund and other great cinema legends of horror.”
Christopher Cook, Producer
“Bill was insistent that we make the stunts as real as possible, to the point of throwing himself to the ground in several scenes, and darting out of the way of stampeding horses. It made the stunt better, it made the scenes better and, ultimately, made the film better. He remains one of the best actors that I have ever worked with.”
Bill Parker, Producer: The Princess And The Pony
“As a result of hiring Bill, I found someone truly committed to the part and the production, which was a very tight low budget. What I liked most about working with him was that he is easygoing, always timely, ready to work and flexible to unforeseen situations which are bound to occur.”
Kathleen ‘Bo’ Bobak, Director/Producer: Red Dirt Rising
“Bill Oberst Jr. is an amazing and versatile actor. His ability to take on a wide range of characters and make each role his own is truly astounding.”
Matt Dean, Producer: The Devil Within
