Bill
Dwyer
made his motion
picture debut in Little
Shots of Happiness as the drummer who cheats on his scenester girlfriend
with Bonnie Dickenson's
Frances. Dallesandro comparisons aside, Bill is actually a talented
musician as well, contributing music for the soundtracks of Little Shots
(as part of the Boston bands Sugarbitch and Glissenette) and the new Verow
spectacle, Shucking the
Curve (as part of the experimental noise troupe Sexxxy.)
Bill portrays Mid-Western transplant/drug dealer Rodney in Shucking the
Curve with an emphasis on the physical. He did all his own stunts, including
a rather hair-raising free fall when Kathy
(Leanne Whitney) and Suzanne (Bonnie Dickenson) throw him, od'ed and
presumed dead, down a flight of grimy Lower East Side stairs. Never one
to complain on a film set, Bill did the take about twenty times.
His next role in The
Trouble with Perpetual Deja-Vu hit closer to home, as it is filmed
where he and brother Jim Dwyer
were raised, Cape Cod. As Joe, Bill combines his experiences of growing
up an outsider with a keen eye to the solitary existence that any one
"washed ashore" on the Cape feels.
He currently makes vibrant appearances in A
Sudden Loss of Gravity and Once and
Future Queen. He resides in Boston and NYC.
