Will was born in 1967 to WASP parents Marilyn (Blythe Danner) and George (Sydney Pollack). He came out in 1985, during college, when - with the help of Jack McFarland - he realised his relationship with Grace masked his true sexuality.

After graduating, he worked for a big time law firm showing promise, but gave it up to start his own practice. This fell through in the show's second season and he began working for Doucette & Stein, a firm that he worked for until the end of the seventh season.

Throughout his life, every birthday of Will's has ended with someone - or everyone - else stealing the limelight. This is the plot of several episodes of the show, including Will On Ice, Gypsies, Tramps & Weed and Key Party. The conflicting nature of the airdates for these episodes puts his birthday somewhere between October and January.

Will has had relationships with three women - Grace; his highschool girlfriend Claire; and Diane (Mira Sorvino) - his girlfriend after Grace - the only woman he ever slept with.

Will has been known (often with Jack McFarland), to walk in on girl-on-girl scenes (most of them involving. Grace), there after saying, "Huh, something like this is totally wasted on me."

His most successful relationship with a guy was his long-term boyfriend Michael (Chris Potter), which lasted seven years ending in November 1996.

Much of the comedy on the show is at Will's expense, and many of the characters play off his many unsuccessful relationships. In the 2004-2005 season, however, he became involved in a serious relationship with a cop named Vince, played by Bobby Cannavale.
