Wood, William [Burke] (1779–1861), actor and manager. Born in Montreal, he worked as an accountant and as a lawyer's assistant before attempting his own business venture, which went bust and landed him in debtor prison. Wood then made his acting debut in 1798, was soon performing in Philadelphia, and was made treasurer of the
Chestnut Street Theatre, which he eventually took over in conjunction with the elder William
Warren. The pair also managed theatres in Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington. All the time Wood continued to act, excelling at comedy, until his retirement in 1846. Autobiography:
Personal Reflections of the Stage, 1855.
