Draft:Verne Williams

Verne “Bulldog” Williams born 1935, died 2010, was an actor, voice actor, boxing trainer, farm hand, and jazz player. He was most well known for his role in The Last Dragon, depicting Mr. Clean, and active participation in media hoaxes done by artist Joey Skaggs.

Career
Working as a farm hand, Verne Williams always dreamed of a career in film. Reaching out to close friend, Joey Skaggs, he asked for help to get started. Joey pretended to be a talent agent (Bad Guys Talent Agency), creating a fake agency and head-shots for Verne to send to casting calls. It succeeded, Verne got in to a casting for the film The Last Dragon. Joey, still acting as Verne's agent, attended the interview. The casting crew asked for Verne to read the script, but Joey declined. Before entering the room both men discussed how best to approach this, Skaggs devised a plan- one which he would slap Williams, causing him to lash out acting like a rabid dog. At the prompt, Skaggs gave Williams a hard smack and Verne went wild. The casting crew loved it, and because of this display Verne's role was rewritten so as to let him be the 'Bulldog' beast he was.

In addition to this, Verne worked with Joey Skaggs in a number of his media hoaxes such as Hippie Bus Tour to Queens, Bad Guys Talent Agency, Walk Right!, The Fat Squad, and Save the Geoduck. He also pretended to be Skaggs, interviewing as him for Playback Magazine 1995.

William was represented by Red House Productions up until his passing in 2010.
