Wil Shriner
(director/screenwriter/co-producer) is the popular and busy director, comedian, actor, writer, producer and host who, over the last few years, has established himself as one of television's hot new sitcom directors. "Hoot" marks his feature film directorial debut.
Among his many credits and triumphs on the small screen, Shriner won the Humanitas Award for a 2000 episode of NBC's "Frasier" entitled 'Something About Dr. Mary' that sensitively dealt with racism. Another "Frasier" episode, 'The Proposal', earned an Emmy Award for editing in 2002.
In addition to his work for NBC's Emmy-winning sitcom, Shriner has also directed episodes of another popular Emmy winner, "Everybody Loves Raymond," in addition to such comedy series as CBS's "Becker," ABC's "My Wife and Kids," and the WB's "Raising Dad," "Norm," "Married to the Kellys," "Luis," "Two Guys and a Girl" and "Ladies Man."
In front of the camera, Shriner has numerous film roles to his credit, including the Academy Award nominated "Peggy Sue Got Married," directed by Francis Ford Coppola. He has also made dozens of appearances on television shows like HBO's "Dream On" and NBC's "Search and Rescue." As a TV talk-show guest and stand-up comic, he has over 50 appearances with David Letterman, Jay Leno, Bill Maher and Johnny Carson to his credit.
Wil also performs his stand-up comedy across the country and in numerous corporate environments. He has appeared at dozens of casinos in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, Atlantic City and Reno with such talents as Joan Rivers, Jerry Seinfeld, John Denver, Loretta Lynn, Tom Jones, The Gatlins, Neil Sedaka and Jay Leno.
Over the years, Shriner has hosted hundreds of hours of television, including his own Emmy-nominated talk show, "The Wil Shriner Show," on ABC, and, more recently, HGTV's "That's Home Entertainment" and "On Location." He was also a regular correspondent and guest host for five years on ABC's popular daytime show, "Home." He has also hosted live shows on ABC, CBS, NBC, A&E, HGTV and a number of Disney specials.
When not before-or-behind the camera, the multi-faceted talent keeps busy working with many E-commerce and high technology companies as a spokesman, producer and comedian. His clientele includes Microsoft, and ATVEF as well as Circuit City, Optika, RCA, Gemstar, Iomega, Engage, WEB-TV Canon and Caesar's Palace, to name a few. In February, 2000, he produced and wrote the Microsoft Windows 2000 launch, the largest product introduction in Microsoft's history. Two years later, he directed and wrote the Bill Gates comedy video shown at all of Mr. Gate's public appearances.
Wil Shriner was born in New York City when his father Herb Shriner, a popular humorist and television personality, was hosting "Two for the Money," the 1950s gameshow now seen in reruns on Sony's Game Show Network. Along with his twin brother, Kin, and his sister Indy (named for Indiana, their father's home state), he grew up in Florida, California, New York, and Texas. After completing UCLA's Film School program, he worked in production for Max Baer Jr. on the film "Ode to Billy Joe" and for Dick Clark Productions before pursuing work as a stand-up comedian. He and Kin (Scotty of "General Hospital") were both featured in People Magazine's 1998's "50 Most Beautiful People" issue. You can visit his personal website at www.wilshriner.com.
