William Washington has worked in the motion picture industry for nearly 30 years and counts among his credits over 400 Feature Films, Television Shows, Commercials and Music Videos. Washington's career began when he was hired as a stuntman on the feature film "Marked for Death", starring Steven Segal in 1989. He continued working as a stuntman for 4 years, during which time, he became one of Hollywood's go-to African American stuntmen, frequently working with Terry Leonard, one of the most celebrated Stunt Coordinators of the time. Washington's curiosity on set, where he had the opportunity to interact with and learn about every department, exposed him to the various aspects of filmmaking. It was through such interaction that he gained his first opportunity as Stunt Coordinator on the multi-award-winning feature film "What's Love Got to Do with It", directed by Brian Gibson, starring Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne. In 2008, Washington tried his hand at producing and directing "House Arrest", his first feature film, starring Stacey Dash and The Game. Given its limited budget, there were many challenges, all of which Washington was able to overcome through critical problem solving. On January 1, 2013, Washington's tenacity and love for filmmaking culminated in a distribution deal with Grindstone Entertainment Group for "Theatrical Release", which he also directed and produced. In addition to his interests on set, Washington developed an interest in the development stage of projects, particularly in screenwriting. He has developed several screenplays, including some of which are under consideration by investment groups for financing, namely "Fight Of Glory", "Jolted", "The Showdown", "Ice", "72 Hours", and television series, "The Paladin". After years of performing, creating, writing, and directing, Washington continues to perfect his craft and pursue greater opportunities in the film industry, guided by his mantra "Perfect practice makes perfect." - IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous
