William “Will” Lyman (born May 20, 1948) is an American voice-over artist and actor. Perhaps best known for his polished, resonant voice, Lyman has narrated the PBS series Frontline since its second season in 1984 and plays William Tell in the action/adventure television series Crossbow.
Lyman was born in Burlington, Vermont, the son of Mabry (née Remington), an editor and educator, and Edward Phelps Lyman, an educator. He is a 1971 graduate of Boston University's School of Fine Arts. Lyman married the former Anastasia Sylvester and they have one daughter, Georgia.
Lyman has made a successful career in television, theater and film, including appearances in Hostile Takeover and Welcome to the Dollhouse, and as narrator of the 2006 film Little Children. He has also appeared on the TV shows Commander in Chief, in which he portrayed the President of the United States (whose death in the story elevates Geena Davis' Mackenzie Allen to the office), and also appeared in TV shows Threat Matrix, The West Wing, and Law & Order.
In 1984, Lyman became the exclusive narrator of PBS' long-running Frontline television series, and he became best known as such.
