For Veterans to Share their Military Experiences over their Favorite Libation Unfiltered, Uncensored & Unplugged.
Actor. Writer. Entrepreneur.
Veteran Documentarian.
A performer & filmmaker with a passion for Military History from a very young age. With his late father - himself a former U.S. Navy Submariner & U.S. Navy Diver - visits to U.S. Civil War battlefields kindled in him a true appreciation & respect for both the events & often terrifying experiences Veterans lived through. Being that many Veterans from World War II never spoke or shared their experiences with anyone fired in him a determination to create a platform whereby Veterans could save & share their experiences for their families, friends, & succeeding generations. Accomplished in firearms handling & use, Wilhelm appeared on SpikeTv’s (now Paramount Network) hit show Deadliest Warrior to lend his expertise on weaponry. He has since created several history-themed projects (with industry veterans - see links) he’s looking to move into production. Now more than ever audiences are hungry for new, innovative material. Let’s provide it for them.
Wilhelm is repped by the esteemed Tsu Tsu Unlimited of New York City.
