William Tokarsky (born January 18, 1948) is an American character actor known for his recurring role as the Demon on adult swim, and as the Killer in the cult film Too Many Cooks.

Life

Tokarsky was born in suburban Pittsburgh in 1948, where he was raised. When he was still young, he joined the military and fought in the Vietnam war before returning to the States, then moving to the American South in 1983. Pre-acting, Tokarsky taught robotics for General Motors.[1] In his retirement, Tokarsky took up acting, having notably "lived other lives" before coming to the profession, something that contributes to his performances.[1][2][4] He had also previously been in the wrestling circuit throughout the Mid West, though could not continue after a 2009 injury in Oklahoma.[2]

Career

After moving to Atlanta, Tokarsky visited the film set of Get Low to catch a glimpse of its stars, Robert Duvall and Bill Murray. Here, he spoke to extras and decided to give acting, which he thought "looked like fun", a try.[1] Coming into the film industry late did not stop Tokarsky, who trained in many professional acting techniques, and improv.[3] He is a member of SAG-AFTRA, with his first major role being in the popular young adult movie sequel Catching Fire in 2013.[2][3] After this, he appeared in the Anchorman sequel before joining TV, where he played the fan-favorite killer Bill in short film Too Many Cooks and gained popularity. He says he was lucky landing the role, as he had previously worked with its creator Casper Kelly, who "liked [his] look and asked [him] to audition". He's also said he thought it would go viral after watching the finished product, and that his nephews love it.[4][5][6][7][8] In fact, his image grew so much that he got to have a life cast mold made by Silver Scream FX Lab.[9]

He continued to act in TV and film, including the 2017 hit Tragedy Girls with former Hunger Games co-star Josh Hutcherson, before landing a role in Welcome to the Jungle, another part that also become fan-favorite.[10] In addition, he reprised his Too Many Cooks role when it got a Musical adaptation.[3]

When the Republican tax overhaul was set to make it difficult for budding actors trying to find work, especially outside of Hollywood, Tokarsky contributed his expertise and experience to a report on the subject. Though he, as it says, "[had] a pension and doesn’t rely on his movie money to survive", he was still vocal about the struggles of being unable to write off expenses when you're trying to make it.[1]

Tokarsky is a notable actor in many adult swim shows and films, to the point that British newspaper The Guardian happily confirmed that on a celebrity visit to Candler Mansion in Atlanta, "no one seem[ed] that interested in the architectural quirks of the former psychiatric hospital [...] everyone [was] snapping photos of actor William Tokarsky's grim face", calling the actor "a fittingly odd welcome to the world of Adult Swim."[11]
