William Joyce

Handsome William Joyce was born on October 21, 1930, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and raised in New Rochelle, New York. His childhood dream was to become a major-league baseball pitcher (he even worked out with the New York Yankees in 1947). However, Joyce was introduced to acting after he entered the army and became the star, writer and producer of "Camp Pickett Reveille Roundup." He made his film debut in 1954 with an uncredited bit part as a dancer in the comedy musical Top Banana (1954) (he had previously appeared in an early 1950s Broadway stage production of this particular musical).
