What is a Bill Colgate? Poster boy for mid-life crisis or a somewhat late bloomer? Born in Welland Ontario and raised in Toronto, the arc of Bill's professional life begins in the early 70's, fronting such memorable bar bands as Uncle John's Dirty Secret and The All Star Disco Band (currently residing in the 9th Circle of Hell). It was while playing The Nickleodeon (Ronnie Hawkins’ old "Hawk's Nest") that things took a left turn when he was approached by the artistic director of a fledging theatre company with the proposal that he might consider giving acting a try "since you seem to be handling the role of lead singer pretty well".
20 years later, when he recorded his first CD, Bill had appeared in every aspect of the profession: stage, screen (BIG and small), radio, cartoon and commercial voice work. He has performed the plays of Shakespeare, Beckett, Shaw and Ibsen but is most often recognized as both the "good old boy" on Relic Hunter (enlisting the aid of Tia Carrere to track down a guitar given to him by Elvis Presley) or as The Singing Pirate from an episode of the children's show "Join In" recorded 15 years ago. read more.
