Grandfather Patrick Troughton was a memorable television Doctor Who and Will's father David, uncle Michael and brother Sam are all in the profession as is cousin, Harry Potter actor Harry Melling whilst his mother Ali is a former actress. William - known to the family as 'Wigsy', the Wise One - has been a keen cricketer since the age of eleven, playing for the Stratford 1st XI in the Birmingham Division and at one point seemed likely to follow another brother, Jim, captain of the Warwickshire County Club, onto the pitch but when he was fourteen decided on acting instead, often financing himself by working on boats. In 2012 William took over the part played in the film by Peter Sellers in the UK stage tour of 'The Ladykillers' and has also played in the West End in 'The Woman in Black' and received excellent notices for his one man show 'Private Peaceful' at the Bristol Tobacco Family. As from November 2014 William has been acting alongside David playing father and son farmers in the radio serial 'The Archers'.
