That is a terribly long post title, but it spells it all out. Bill has made his Kitchen Tapes songs available on a special pressing of both compact disc and vinyl that Bill will autograph personally. All proceeds as with the digital download to benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. If you want Bill’s John Handcock on a special Christmas present for a loved one, or for yourself, please use the link below to order. The money will go to a worthy cause.
I was hoping for a Youtube version of this, but my friend, Brian Plaideau, has said there isn’t one…for now. Bill guested on Brian and his friend, Tj’s, podcast celebrating the New Orleans Film Scene. Due to the SAG/AFTRA strike going on at the time of the recording, Bill and Brian could not discuss any of their film projects, nor their work on BILL & TED: FACE THE MUSIC. Brian was Bill’s stand in as Death/Grim Reaper. The podcast is fun as they mainly talk about Bill’s album, The Kitchen Tapes. Bill also sings in Finnish. It’s all a whole lot of fun and, well….it’s Bill. Please check out all of Brian and Tj’s podcasts if you love New Orleans, and movies.
From the astounding stages of the Colorado Shakespeare Festival to the big screen of Die Hard 2 and Bill & Ted’s, we’re thrilled to have William Sadler, the iconic actor, share his riveting journey in the world of acting. William weaves an inspiring tale that began with his memorable performance as Hamlet, his first paying gig. Hear about his transition from being ‘Bill’ to ‘William’, a change motivated by Franco Nero during their Die Hard 2 stint.
We also travel down the musical lane with William, where he unveils how he utilized the pandemic to return to his music roots and even record an album! He painted a vivid picture of his writing process, his dedication to a philanthropic cause, and how music became a crucial part of his acting toolbox. His story of molding himself into an elderly man for an audition via special makeup, a move that yielded positive feedback from industry producers, is one for the books.
Finally, William discusses the bittersweet sensation of reprising roles he played years back. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, he warns, citing the physical demands of roles and the blistering heat of New Orleans. But the thrill of bringing a character back to life, especially at the age of 70, is a joy that truly resonates. Join us as we navigate through William’s captivating journey, which serves as an invaluable treasure trove of insights for both budding actors and film buffs alike. Listening to William’s story is a privilege, and we can’t wait for you to join us on this adventure.

We all know Bill is an accomplished song writer and singer. Through his Youtube channel, Bill has shared stories of his time as an actor on stage and in the movies. He often accompanied those fanciful stories with songs he has personally written and composed. Bill has decided to take a stand against the continual gun violence happening in the United States with a song he calls Thoughts and Prayers. This thought provoking song is available on Spotify for you to purchase. Proceeds will go to Sandy Hook Promise, an organization dedicated to erasing gun violence after the devastating mass shooting at the former Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. Please consider purchasing it on iTunes. Link is included below. You can also listen to it below at the Spotify link.

Bill recently sat down with Jeff Hass of Traversing The Stars Podcast On Youtube, where they discussed Bill’s upcoming role in his fourth role in a film adaptation of a Stephen King novel, SALEM’S LOT. He will not be playing Kurt Barlow as I previously had in the sidebar under his projects. His role right now is being described as an “Easter Egg.” I’ll have more as information comes available. Also Bill said he’s putting together an album of his songs he made famous on his THE KITCHEN TAPES channel on Youtube. He said he might have something out in a month and that proceeds will go to a charity. Again, I’ll have more when Bill releases it.
