William Friedkin Remembered

We were saddened by the news of the passing of William Friedkin on August 9, 2023. Billy and William were great friends for nearly 40 years.

Variety have shared a great interview with Billy, where he shares how he got the role of Richard Chance in TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA and what made William Friedkin unique.

You can read the full article by clicking the link below, but I think this quote sums up the interview perfectly.

The only reason I have this nice house and any success I’ve had in Hollywood is because of Billy. I’d still be knocking around somewhere in the Midwest trying to land parts in plays, if it weren’t for him. Billy affected so many people’s lives. Everybody in Hollywood will feel this loss.
