Will Klipstine

Will Klipstine was born in Gilroy, CA (garlic capital of the world) to two school teachers. His father was a decorated officer in the Vietnam War. He moved around the San Francisco Bay area a lot as a kid, attending 9 different schools. After winning acting awards in middle school, high school, and college, Will moved to L.A. On June 18, 1996, Klipstine had a gun pressed to his head for 15 minutes in a failed robbery attempt. Despite it being two years after he moved to L.A., Klipstine sites this as the moment he observed the fragility of life and decided a life unpursued is a life unfulfilled. Within a few years he landed his first leading role in a feature. After four callbacks and a grueling final casting session between two finalists, he won the lead in another indie the next year. He has starred in three indies, acted in numerous others along with dozens of shorts, and over twenty plays. Will's sophomoric film The Evolution of Andrew Andrews won awards on the festival circuit and received distribution from Vanguard Cinema (domestic) and Go Digital (international). His web series, Mr. Mom Talk Show, is rated 97%-100% "funny" on Will Ferrell's website funnyordie.com, and was picked up by Blip.tv (Disney). Blip is now defunct but "Mr. Mom Talk Show Highlights" is on YouTube. His next film is a western musical comedy, Saddle Up!, which scored in the top 10 on Slated out of 5300+ movies.
