Bill Timoney, (born William Regan Timoney on March 5, 1958 in Teaneck, New Jersey) is an American actor, voice actor, director, script writer and producer. He is the brother of actor Mike Timoney and son of Mary Gardiner, of The Big Surprise fame. He is married to fellow actress Georgette Reilly.
Perhaps the best known of Timoney's roles on television is as the character of Alfred Vanderpool on All My Children. The musical team Boyz II Men drew inspiration from Timoney's Vanderpool, and Nathan Morris, one of its tenors, used the stage name "Alex Vanderpool" in the character's honor early in the team's career.
He is also a well-known voice actor, providing voices for animation and video games. He also directs and adapts Japanese anime at Headline Studios.
In April 2010, Timoney made his off-Broadway theater debut at the Soho Playhouse as a standby for the actor Dan Butler in the role of Joseph Flaherty in The Irish Curse, dramatized by Martin Casella. Timoney replaced Butler for a few performances and was very favorably reviewed. In August 2010, he again received excellent notices for his portrayal as Bob in the Stephen Padilla drama, Picking Palin, for the New York International Fringe Festival. In December 2010, Timoney and his wife, Georgette Reilly Timoney, appeared at the Arkansas Repertory Theatre in Little Rock, Arkansas in a stage adaptation of A Christmas Story.
Timoney served as associate producer, cast member and fight coordinator for the independent feature film Last Chance, the directing debut of Emmy Award-winning actor Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad).
