Bill Thornbury
A lover of music and scenic arts since his childhood, Bill Thornbury graduated from the California State University at Fresno with a teaching degree in music and nowadays teaches in Northern California. His sporadic and short cinematic career started at the age of 22, playing a small role in an independent film called Summer School Teachers (1975) and directed by the controversial Barbara Peeters. In the following years, he appeared in a couple of productions made for TV: the drama movie Sarah T. - Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic (1975) and an episode for The Rockford Files (1974). In these early period, and in the upcoming years, he was also featured in many national television commercials, including "Honda Motorcycles", "Chrysler/Plymouth", and "Coca-Cola". Anyway, his breakthrough came in 1978, being 26 years old, when he portrayed the character he will always be identified with: Jody Pearson, elder brother of Mike, the young protagonist of Phantasm (1979). During a long production that lasted over two years, he set a strong friendship with director Don Coscarelli and fellow actors A. Michael Baldwin, Reggie Bannister and Angus Scrimm that still lasts today. Together, they are the key center of what fans call "The Phantasm Phamily". Due to his skills as a musician, guitar player, and singer, he was given the chance to perform on-screen a theme composed by himself: the country ballade "Sittin' Here at Midnight". The scene where he plays the song with Reggie Bannister became one of the most unforgettable moments of the saga, and the song itself is today a collector's item for followers worldwide. During the eighties, Bill started to focus more and more on his musical career, leaving acting aside. Nevertheless, he was casted on a couple of episodes in a brief soap opera called Secrets of Midland Heights (1980) and had a small role in The Lost Empire (1984). After that, he practically retired from acting to turn his talents into music and teaching. Due to his friendship with Don Coscarelli, he returned to the world of Phantasm and delighted many fans reprising his role of Jody in Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994) and in Phantasm IV: Oblivion (1998). It seems he will only come out of retirement to play this character, forever associated with him. Bill, today a professional singer/songwriter, has been a staff songwriter for 20th Century-Fox in Los Angeles, and MTM Records in Nashville. In addition to recording albums, Mr. Thornbury also performs with the critically acclaimed band The Sons of the San Joaquin. Bill resides in Northern California with his wife Sharon, his son Ben, as well as a great variety of adorable pets.
Bill Thorpe
Bill Thorpe, born as William Thorpe, is an American singer and actor who was raised on the coast of New England where he spent most of his childhood in, on, and around the water. At the age of 14, he built his own sailboat using anything he could get his hands on. Aided by a sudden squall and a sail that was way too big for the boat, the maiden voyage ended abruptly when a huge rock raced across the bay and placed a big toothy grin in the side of the hull. Next port of call was building and designing sets for the local community theater. Speaking roles in films include work with Clint Eastwood and Sean Penn in the Academy Award winning film "Mystic River," Jennifer Lawrence, Mel Gibson, Sissy Spacek, David O. Russell, and Larry David, as well as independent films, voiceover work for several documentaries, principal roles in eight national television commercials, and many regional radio & television commercials. He has appeared in films shown at the Sundance Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, and the Independent Film Festival Boston. As a singer (legit baritone), he has performed as soloist in thirty-two U.S. states through American Artists Management of New York and, in collaboration with the Cole Porter Musical and Literary Trusts, was soloist on the CBS Television Network broadcast celebrating the Cole Porter centennial, and for the U.S. Post Office release of the Cole Porter commemorative first-class postage stamp. He represented the United States as part of a two-night international concert sponsored by the United Nations and the Peoples' Republic of China before a sold-out audience of 36,000 in Shanghai, followed by other performances in China, including the Beijing Concert Hall. In 2012 he returned to Germany for performances in Cologne, the Rhineland, and the Westerwald, including a standing ovation in the historic Apollinariskirche at Remagen. He recorded songs from the musicals of Cole Porter and Lerner & Loewe with the Stuttgart Symphony, sang the role of Orpheus for the National Public Radio broadcast of "Orpheus and Euridice" on "The Spider's Web" series, and has been soloist at the Bethlehem Music Festival, the Missouri River Festival, the Arizona Heritage Festivals, the Westport Levitt Pavilion Music Festival, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the White Mountain Bach Festival, as well as with Boston Lyric Opera, Opera Boston, the Handel & Haydn Society, Boston Concert Opera at Symphony Hall, the Ocean City Pops Orchestra, Boston Civic Symphony, the Marlboro Symphony, The Landmarks Orchestra and other east-coast orchestras. Thorpe earned degrees from Boston Conservatory of Music (piano) and New England Conservatory of Music (voice), with additional studies at the Philadelphia Musical Academy (piano) and the Lichtenberg Voice Institute in Germany. He is a member of Pi Kappa Lambda National Music Honor Society and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP).
