  "description": "Wilhelm was born into a film family. His father was silent film child  actor and second unit man Otto Wilhelm Von Hohenzollern whom was called  Willie Hon because it was easier to say it then his name.\n\nHis  grandmother Mary L Shriver came west in the early days of the industry  and became a script supervisor and not a actress like she wanted because  she was a stickler for making certain things being done right and not a  very good actress. The only time she ever acted was in the 10  Commandments.\n\nBoth were responsible for him becoming what he  became and getting lots of float in float out work over the years  proving nepotism does work. To many he was simply known as JR or  Willie's kid or Mary's grand kid.\n\nShortly after he was born in  1932 he was used as a stand-in in a stunt that required a child be  thrown from a wagon in a land rush western. Thus a career that has  lasted in the industry for over 80 years was born. He is highly  recognizable because of his blond hair and big ears. People are always  coming up to him asking to take pictures with him\n\nDo to it not  being a good idea to have German Names during WW2 and work the family  became more Americanized in their name like other German families of the  time. Yes PC has been around for a very long time.\n\nDuring career  he floated in and out of more then 1,000 credited and unaccredited  acting ,singing or dancing roles. Add to this he had a second career as a  writer of editorials back in the days that TV stations had to do  editorials to keep their broadcasting licenses\n\nDuring Vietnam he  was severely injured and took sometime to recovery from burns to his  feet, hands and face beside other injures suffered at the same time. The  burns still show up badly when he sweats allot.\n\nIn the last decade besides working as a actor or  producer in his daughters projects he has also created a character  called Oldecam that calls upon his acting ability and journalistic  training to do a series shows of over 1,000 satirical looks at the  Headlines of today. Then shows were done in 2D, then 3D and now new  shows are being done in VR\n\nHe has also did the scores for all the  projects his daughter has did \"Why Don't You Know\" with his daughter  and him both playing saxes.\n\nHis daughter has more then a dozen  projects in various stages and six of which will be taken to Cannes this  year. Last few years they have taken more then a dozen films with them  to the market side.",
