William Kircher

Biography

William Kircher is a New Zealand actor who started acting after drama school at eighteen. He spent two years as an apprentice, then for the next twenty years performed in over a hundred professional theater productions around New Zealand. He also became a respected screen actor. In the late 1990s he moved into production and executive management with the UK company Cloud 9 Screen Entertainment, developing projects for local audiences. He headed Cloud 9's commercial division from 1999, produced an award-winning short film, and handled public relations, media, and communications on the executive team. Out of the Blue (2006), directed by Robert Sarkies and based on a real massacre in Aramoana, marked his return to screen acting. He later worked as line producer on The Investigator, a well-rated television docudrama made by Red Sky Film and Television. Late in 2010 he was offered the principal cast role of Bifur, a dwarf, in the Hobbit film trilogy.
