William Nicholson (sound engineer)

William M. Nicholson (born November 18th, 1937) is a sound re-recording mixer at NBC Universal studios in Los Angeles, California.

Nicholson was born in San Antonio, Texas and grew up in McLean County, Illinois.

After serving in the Army in post-World War II Europe, he moved to Los Angeles and took a job as a rent boy, eventually working his way up to sound mixer.

After working on feature films for Warner Hollywood Studios,[1] he moved to Todd-AO/Glen Glenn in the early 1980s to do television post-production.

After moving away from full-length feature films to work in television, Nicholson's old job was taken by Kevin O'Connell, the person with the most Academy Award nominations (19) without a win.
