William Ragsdale (born January 19, 1961, in El Dorado, Arkansas), also known as Bill Ragsdale or Will Ragsdale, is an American actor.
After attending Hendrix College where he appeared in plays with Sling Blade actress and fellow Arkansan Natalie Canerday, he gained attention as the young hero of Fright Night and Fright Night II, a series of humorous vampire films co-starring Roddy McDowall. He also performed in theatre productions of Neil Simon plays Biloxi Blues and Brighton Beach Memoirs.
Ragsdale starred for three years in the Fox Network sitcom Herman's Head. He was cast in the pilot for Charmed, but turned down the series to star in the short-lived sitcom Brother's Keeper. He appeared on Ellen as a boyfriend of the character Ellen Morgan (Ellen DeGeneres), before Morgan (and DeGeneres herself) came out of "the closet" as a lesbian.
Despite losing roles in both Glory and the film version of Biloxi Blues to Matthew Broderick, he works with Broderick in the 2008 film Wonderful World.
Personal life
In 1999, he married actress Andrea Ragsdale. They have one son.
