In conversation with Sarah Hone, Associate Artistic Director of Bow Street Academy, Bill will reflect on his expansive career and the creative journey that has taken him from the stage to the screen—and far beyond.
Bill initially rose to prominence with standout performances in Ruthless People, Spaceballs, and the Oscar-winning The Accidental Tourist.
He has since become a household name, staring in countless cult classics, blockbusters, and fan favourites. Independence Day star Bill Pullman will be making his way to Schull next month, as he's announced for Fastnet Festival 2025. Pic: Supplied
