HAD WILLETT(Michael Keddington)
From the very beginning of his career, Chad Willett's roles have spanned the
ages and the earth. They have brought him to 15th-century France to fight
alongside legends, flown him to the moon and back, and left him stranded in
the frozen mountains of South America.
In his first American film, "Alive," Willett starred alongside Ethan Hawke.
This true story of a group of brave young people fighting to survive after
their plane crashes in the mountains of Chile was directed by talented
director Frank Marshall and produced by Kathleen Kennedy. In the critically
acclaimed CBS miniseries, "Joan of Arc," Willett co-starred with Leelee
Sobieski. The stellar cast included such legendary actors as Peter O'Toole,
Shirley Maclaine, Peter Strauss and Jacqueline Bissett. And when Willett starred as a shuttle mission specialist on the television series "The Cape," he had direct access to NASA.
Willett is a native of British Columbia, where he was trained in Meisner and
Stanislavski acting techniques and starred for four seasons in the popular
Canadian series "Madison." Eventually, film and television work brought him
to Los Angeles where he has continued to play diverse characters such as a
hippie headshop owner opposite Vincent D'Onofrio in the independent feature
film "Steal This Movie." He chased monsters throughout New York in hopes of
breaking the big story as reporter Tucker Burns in the SciFi Channel
series "The Chronicle," based on the 'News from the Edge' series of books.
He also took on the challenge of telling the true story of a New York
stockbroker turned cattle rancher in "Nothing Too Good For a Cowboy" for
director Kari Skogland, who also recruited Willett to appear in her short
film "Nature Boy," produced by Wesley Snipes.
Willett's television credits include "The X-Files," "Charmed," and a recurring role on "Jack & Jill." Currently, he is in rehearsals for the Pulitzer Award winning play "Proof," written by David Auburn.
