Was considered a premier voiceover artiste, especially in the advertising world. Amongst the products Bill vocalised for were Pan Am Airways, Seiko watches, Cadbury's Flake, Denim aftershave ("for men who didn't have to try too hard") and famously the Carlsberg's "Probably the best lager... in the world" promotion, which he took on after Orson Welles demanded too much money to continue promoting the drink.

Attributed his low, husky voice to the time he contracted mumps as a pubescent 12 year-old and was silent for three weeks; another possible explanation was a fall from a tree. It was carefully maintained by a lifetime of heavy smoking and drinking.

Was raised in a Catholic orphanage following his mother's death.

Once worked as a bouncer in a brothel.
