Apart from a successful actor and writer, William is also an accomplished voice actor. His radio work is extensive both as an actor and a narrator and he has also put his voice to a large amount of audio books.
William: (About his character in Silent Witness) Leo is very passionate about, obviously his family, his wife and child, and also about Janet as you'd expect. Professionally I think he is very passionate about being a representative of finding the truth and I think particularly for him what he doesn't like is the feeling that in some way, he can't be impartial.
William: (About attending a post mortem) When I first started, Tom [Ward] and I went to see a post mortem down in South End and the fact we met over a post mortem, and then both went for a drink afterwards, was a pretty extraordinary experience, and certainly what I had in my head which I suppose was what I gleamed from watching tell and reading books, was completely unlike what we saw and that was surprising and quite shocking and very interesting and I'm really glad that I did it. I was quite squeamish when watching it and I wouldn't particularly want to repeat the experience but I'm very glad that I did it.
William: (About the things he can watch on screen) I'm actually pretty good in terms of what I can watch on a screen at the cinema and I can take quite a lot. I'm always aware that it is just make believe so it doesn't particularly worry me I'm quite thick skinned about it.
