Who is Bill Irwin? People tend to think of him as an actor, a dancer, a performance artist, a vaudeville clown. Sometimes it’s sort of hard to describe exactly what Bill does, but people who have seen him agree – he does it well. And Pitch’d is just over the Moon that this Living Legend is coming over to grace our streets and our stages.

His original works, created with collaborators, include The Regard of Flight; Largely New York ; Fool Moon; Old Hats, The Happiness Lecture; and others. His theater credits include Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, The Goat, Waiting for Godot, Endgame, The Iceman Cometh, and ON BECKETT.  On television Irwin can be seen in character roles including Mr. Noodle of Elmo’s World, Dr. Lindstrom of LAW and ORDER SVU, and Carey Loudermilk of LEGION. His film credits include Rachel Getting Married, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Eight Men Out, Interstellar, and Stepping Out. Irwin gratefully acknowledges the fellowships that have allowed him to experiment in the theater.

“Whether doing classic mime (“Fool Moon”) or children’s television (“Sesame Street”), this uncanny comic actor has always exuded the sense that he is listening to music that no one else can hear.”    – The New York Times
