Quote | Aucoin :: The Boston Globe

What an actor of Will Lyman’s stature brings to any given role is more than talent; more, even than the craft learned and honed during a lifetime on the stage.
What Lyman also brings is that ineffable, you-know-it-when-you-see-it quality known as presence.

Quote | Rosenberg :: LA Times

No one quite ranks with Lyman as a narrator. As an authoritative off-camera voice, the man’s a rocket, an audio auteur. No telling the number of documentaries I’ve watched while thinking how much better they would be were Lyman the narrator. He and his tubes are that good, his sense of pitch and instinct for the moment flawless. Not one misplaced vibrato. TV’s finest narrator.

Quote | Byrne :: The Boston Globe

… the extraordinary Will Lyman, a master at finding humanity in characters who could easily be dismissed as two-dimensional.

Quote | Siegel :: The Boston Phoenix

Exits and Entrances … features a gem of a performance by Will Lyman as an aging actor confronting the dimming of his professional light …

Quote | Travers :: Rolling Stone

Will Lyman provides the right note of ironic wit, even as the plot gets darker.

Quote | Entertainment Weekly

Quote | Kennedy :: The Boston Globe

Lyman’s charismatic and troubling Trumpleman.

Quote | Weisstuch :: The Boston Phoenix

A luminous and wrenching production.

Quote | Improper Bostonian

Quote | The Boston Globe

Lyman’s transformation from confident king to Nixonian cover-upper is a model piece of acting.

Quote | The Boston Phoenix

The excellent Will Lyman … conveys the intense, almost savage energy of a man recovering from emotional frostbite to confront old pain and new vulnerability.
