Since 2009 he has done voice-over work in ads for Lexus luxury cars. [1] Remar studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in New York City.

William James Remar was born in Boston, Massachusetts on December 31, 1953.

[2] [3] His father was of Russian Jewish descent, while his mother was a native of England and of Irish descent. He has three sisters and two brothers. [4] Remar grew up with his family in Newton, Massachusetts. [5]
Remar dropped out of high school when he was 15, although he attended what he described as "kind of an alternative school" for a year afterwards. He then traveled around the United States, briefly playing guitar in a rock band. Eventually, he returned home and went back to high school, although he decided not to attend college after graduating. Remar has said he decided to become an actor when he was 20; after he was laid off from his job as a roofer, he remembered a previous job performing at a summer camp, and said he would give himself three years to attempt an acting career before he would try something else. [3]
In Florida, Remar earned a role in a state production of Cross and Sword . [3] Afterwards, he studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, but was not asked back after his first year, which he described as "a devastating experience".
