Will has been dancing since he was nine, with the encouragement of his

mother. Trained at the Royal Ballet School, at age 17 he was accepted at

dance company, Adventures in Motion Pictures (AMP). His most prestigious

ballet accomplishment thus far was winning the lead role of The Swan in the
all male cast of Swan Lake from 1997 to 2000 in both London and Broadway.

In 2002 he could be seen dancing to Stuff Like That

in a Peter Lindbergh-directed commercial for Gap's "For Every Generation"

campaign and in 2004 he appeared alongside Sarah Jessica Parker

in two Francis Lawrence-directed spots,

"Color" and "Shine", for Gap's "How Do You Share It" campaign.

He famously turned down a lucrative modelling contract

with Giorgio Armani citing not wanting to be confused as a model

as opposed to an actor as the reason for his decision.
