Bill
Barker
Bill Barker is known as the quintessential Thomas Jefferson. His resemblance to Jefferson is uncanny and his knowledge of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution is second to none. Portraying Thomas Jefferson, Barker lectures sans script on any subject relating to the founding father. Barker has portrayed Thomas Jefferson with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation since 1993 where he helps create Jefferson programs. An historical scholar and professional actor, Barker not only embodies Jefferson, he becomes him.
