Bill Ward
Represented by

Ruth Crafer
Bill is best known for his work on two of the UK’s leading soaps. Most recently he spent three years on EMMERDALE playing the well meaning but pretty hopeless farmer James Barton. Previously he took the role of the rather nasty builder Charlie Stubbs in CORONATION STREET also for three years for which he won many awards.
Bill was recently seen touring the UK in Mark Goucher's production of THE FULL MONTY as well as playing Henry Condell in the production of THE BOOK OF WILL at the Queen's Theatre Hornchurch.
Other recent credits include Channel 4’s BEFORE WE DIE and Netflix’s AFTERLIFE.
