Bio

Not many people know this but his full name is William Henry Cosby Jr. and he is best known as Bill Cosby. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 12, 1937. Bill’s father worked as a mess steward in U.S. Navy and his mother was a housemaid. He also has three brothers.

Bill had a great sense of humor back in his school days and that’s why kids gave him a nickname “class clown”. After 10th grade, he left school and wanted to try other things. His first job after leaving school was in a shop where he repaired shoes. After that, he wanted to join the Navy. Bill spent four years there as a Hospital Corpsman. After the Navy, he wanted to go to college, so he went to Temple University. In 1961 he received a scholarship. He studied physical education. During his time at the university, he played football. While studying, Bill was constantly joking with his friends.

Career

As we previously said, in the 1960s he started his career. At first, he performed in clubs in New York and Philadelphia only, but then he became really popular so he started performing in many cities across the USA. After Bill realized how good he was in stand-up comedy, he wanted to try his skills in acting so he appeared in some movies, TV shows, and series. He took part in many shows and certainly the most significant ones are Kids Say The Darndest Things (1998), You Bet Your Life (1992), The Cosby Show (1984), Cos (1976), Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids (1972), The New Bill Cosby Show (1972), The Bill Cosby Show (1969).

In the 2000s, he was charged with sexual assault by a couple of women. That, of course, had a big impact on his career and a lot of his performances were canceled.  He was actually convicted of sexual assault in April 2018, for the very first time and was sentenced in September 2018. Bill is now serving his sentence at the Phoenix State Correctional institution in Pennsylvania.
