Very few of Willie’s contemporaries can offer as many credits. Certainly, his regular appearances as Stanford on the acclaimed Sex and the City series catapulted Willie into a position of national recognition. Considerably long before that, however, Willie compiled a wide variety of well over two hundred acting credits.
What follows is just a sampling of what our man Willie has accomplished. Kalmenson & Kalmenson are pleased and excited to have this sought-after personage as part of our education team.
