'''William Mapother''' is an American actor and former teacher, who is probably best known to audiences as [[The Mole|Ethan Rom]] on ''[[Lost]]'' or [[Jerkass|Richard Strout]] in ''[[In The Bedroom]]''. He often ends up cast in the roles of villains or creeps, but he's a versatile actor with a pretty eclectic resume. Despite his reputation with general audiences as being utterly terrifying, he's actually a nice guy who also serves on the board of directors for the [[Screen Actors Guild]].

Oh, and he's also [[Tom Cruise]]'s cousin and close friend.
