William B Jackson

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Bill in the Open Fist Theatre Company in Los Angeles. I will treasure his friendship and those memories. Sincerest condolences to Bill´s family and friends. Best, Mike McGill

Bill was my 'fairy' god father - a life saver when I first moved to LA.
Re-locating from London was challenging, and Bill was helpful and supportive, a kind friend - we became roommates - Oscar and Felix - lots of good times and zany moments - that will always be remembered. Bill used to tell me he would live to 100. He didn't quite make it, but those 91 years he walked the planet showed that he was one of a kind: a fellow of indomitable spirit and humour; a decent bloke - an all around good human being. And with Bill there were always beers in the fridge.
Rest in peace Bill - love and prayers to you, and to the family. XO

Bill was kind and an genuine. Always very pleasant and courteous. Had an old fashioned Hollywood charm to him.

We were cast in a Shakespeare play together and he managed to make me laugh even as my character was supposedly laying dead on the floor in front of the audience.

I will forever remember the amazing view from his house in Silverlake.

Rest in peace dear sir!

I was saddened to hear that Bill passed but happy to hear he did so peacefully. I loved Bill! He did several readings with us in our Shakespeare group on Zoom. Most notable for me was when he played my father in Hamlet, "The Ghost." He was wonderful and will be sorely missed!
May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest Bill!

Bill partook in several of our online play readings during the pandemic Including a live reading of The Three Sisters and a podcast recording of Hamlet for Stepping into Shakespeare. Which is online on Spotify for those that would like to hear. Before that he hosted Shakespeare readings at his house in LA which is where I met him and they were always so fun! He was such a lovely person and a great actor! Sending love and condolences to his family xx

Bill's laugh. He had the best laugh.
