Bill was a fantastic actor.
Actor? No, not actor: star.
His dedication to realism
In all his performances
Was well known: contusions,
Bruises, dislocations, blood,
Cracked/broken ribs, et al.
Just striving for perfection.
His efforts for the upcoming
Part in his current film was
No exception. He would
Work on the gin soaked
Drunkard’s suicide scene
Until it dazzled the audience.
It turned out so well that it
Received a standing ovation
From the men who loaded
Him into the van from the
Coroner’s Office.
