William "Will" Pierce Truman is a Fictional Character on the American Sitcom Will & Grace , portrayed by Eric McCormack . He is a Gay lawyer living in New York City with his best friend Grace Adler . Will was born in 1967 to WASP parents Marilyn ( Blythe Danner ) and George ( Sydney Pollack ); he has two brothers, Paul and Sam . Will 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. His next job was working for the Malcolm ( Alec Baldwin ), but that came to an end when Malcolm revealed that he was an FBI agent. In the eighth season, Will took a job at the Coalition of Justice, a business providing legal support for people who cannot afford it, though he ultimately returned to Doucette & Stein , having taken back his old job after being offered a partnership by his new boss at the firm, played by Lily Tomlin . Will's relationship with his parents was always prone to issues, particularly his father who was uncomfortable with his son's sexuality for years. In season eight, the two had a fight in which George confessed he wished Will wasn't gay. A few days later, having not spoken with Will since, George died of a heart attack. Throughout Will's life, every birthday 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), thereafter 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 . Their relationship ended after Vince, who lost two jobs in a row because he couldn't resist trying on accessories, needed to take some time off from the relationship. |
