BILL MARSILLI
BILL MARSILII co-wrote (with his friend Terry Rossio) the romantic time-travel thriller DEJA VU, which sold to Jerry Bruckheimer and Touchstone Pictures in June 2004 in a record-setting pre-emptive bid. Starring Denzel Washington and directed by Tony Scott, the film opened Thanksgiving 2006 and went on to gross over $180 million worldwide.
An accomplished comedy performer, Bill was in the original Off-Broadway cast of TONY 'N TINA'S WEDDING, and has been featured at Caroline's on Broadway, Catch a Rising Star and numerous other theatrical venues. His television work includes writing and starring in two comedy pilots for the Hallmark Channel, as well as several episodes of THE WUBBULOUS WORLD OF DR. SEUSS and COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG, all of which only serve to confuse people. He has also written feature scripts for The Samuel Goldwyn Company, TriStar, Warner Bros., and Paramount Pictures. Last year, Bill sold an action-adventure pitch to Walt Disney Pictures, which is currently out to directors, and is currently writing another project with Terry Rossio.
Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Bill is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where he received his BFA in Drama through the Circle in the Square Workshop. After 25 years in New York, he now lives in Studio City with his wife and daughter, and likes it here very much. He is repped by manager Steve White, and by Rich Green at Creative Artists Agency.
