AGENT SNAPSHOT
Will Porter
Actor • Singer • Physical Comedian
Hey, I’m Will! I grew up doing ballet, got an MFA in acting in Kansas City, and have been based out of New York City for the past 20 years. I recently I got to play William Shakespeare — rapping about receipts — AND a dancing Hobbit… on Broadway!
Yes, that really happened.
I am currently based in New York City and am looking to work across theatre, film, and commercials. Below is a recent snapshot of my career, wins, and relationships. Thanks for stopping by!

Casting & Creative Relationships
Patrick Goodwin cast me in Bill Pay The Musical and has recently reached out to prospective agents on my behalf! I’ve recently connected with casting directors Stacy Gallo, Briana Dunlay, and Lisa Zambetti. I am currently a reader for the TRC Company.
Commercially, I’m frequently called in for smart, offbeat professionals and likable oddballs. The specs often call for dry authority, grounded comedy, improv, or physical storytelling. I’ve had repeat invitations and callbacks with Stacy Gallo, Beth Melskey Casting, Grande/Morris Casting, and House Casting.
“Your comedy, creativity, and flexibility in the room was incredible.”
Kevin Zak, director of Ginger Twinsies & A Kidman Carol
Representation Sought
I’m seeking both theatrical and commercial representation as I pursue principal and featured roles onstage and in television / film. I’m looking for an office who can help shape those next steps with me.
NYC-based. Local hire in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Portland Maine, and Washington, DC.
