BRUCE McGILL, who plays Bill Banyon, has been one of the industry's most recognizable and prolific character actors for more than 25 years - with over 60 motion pictures to his credit.
He was most recently seen in Ron Howard's critically acclaimed drama “Cinderella Man.”  Prior to that, he was the villainous Pedrosa opposite Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx in Michael Mann's thriller “Collateral” - marking his third feature film collaboration with the director following “Ali” and “The Insider.”
His history working with Mann goes back to the mid-1980s when he was given a guest role on Mann's popular TV crime drama “Miami Vice.” He also recently starred in “Runaway Jury” with John Cusack, Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman; Ridley Scott's “Matchstick Men;” and the hit comedy “Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde.”
McGill first came to fame when he rode his motorcycle up the staircase of the frat house as Daniel “D-Day” Simpson in the classic “National Lampoon's Animal House.” His numerous film credits include: “The Sum of All Fears,” “Shallow Hal,” “Exit Wounds,” “The Legend of Bagger Vance,” “Lawn Dogs,” “Rosewood,” “Courage Under Fire,” “A Perfect World,” “Cliffhanger,” “My Cousin Vinny,” “Silkwood,” “The Hand” and “Handle With Care,” in which he made his feature film debut.
McGill has had an equally prolific career in television, garnering starring and supporting roles in some of the most acclaimed television movies of recent years. He was last seen as CNN reporter Peter Arnett in the HBO movie “Live From Baghdad.” His additional TV-movie credits include: “Path To War” and “61*” both for HBO, and “Running Mates” for TNT. He has also been featured in guest or series regular parts in several popular television series including: “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “The Practice,” “Home Improvement,” “Quantum Leap” and “MacGyver.”
Hailing from Texas, McGill earned a BFA in acting from the University of Texas and began his career on the stage. He made his professional debut as a member of Rhode Island's Trinity Square Repertory Company. Relocating to New York, McGill appeared in the New York Shakespeare Festival's presentation of “Hamlet,” produced by the legendary Joseph Papp. This began a long association with Papp and the NYSF, which encompassed roles in such classics as “Henry V” and “Othello.” On Broadway, McGill co-starred in the 22-month run of the musical “My One and Only.” His other theatre work includes performances at New York's Ensemble Studio Theatre, with the National Shakespeare Company in Washington, DC, and at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
