Ko tōna pāpā, ko David Willis, he hōia nō Amerika. Ko tana whaea, ko Marlene, he Tiamana, i whanau i Kassel. Ko Willis te tuakana o nga tamariki tokowha me te tuahine ko Florence me nga tuakana tokorua, ko Robert (kua mate) me David.I muri i tana wehenga mai i te ope taua i te 1957, ka hoki mai te papa o Willis me tona whanau ki Carneys Point Township, New Jersey. Kua whakaahuatia e Willis ia ano he mea mai i te "rahi roa o nga tangata o te kaakahu kikorangi". I mahi tana whaea i te peeke, ko tana papa he kaituku, he tohunga miihini, he kaimahi wheketere. I haere a Willis ki te Kura Tuarua o Penns Grove i tona taone nui, i reira i raru ai ia ki te kukume. I tapaina ia e ana hoa kura ko "Buck-Buck". I uru a Willis ki te karapu whakaari i te kura tuarua, ana ko te mahi i runga i te atamira i whakaiti i tana tawai. I te mutunga ka tohua ia hei tumuaki o te kaunihera ākonga. I haere ia ki te whare wānanga i Montclair State University. I muri i tana tohu i te kura tuarua i te 1973, ka mahi a Willis hei kaitiaki haumaru i te Salem Nuclear Power Plant me te kawe i nga kaimahi mahi i te wheketere DuPont Chambers Works i Deepwater, New Jersey. Whai muri i tana mahi hei kaitirotiro tūmataiti (he mahi ka takaro ia i roto i te raupapa pouaka whakaata Moonlighting me te kiriata 1991 The Last Boy Scout), ka huri a Willis ki te mahi. I uru ia ki te Kaupapa Whakaari i te Whare Wananga o Montclair State, i reira ia i tukuna ai ki te mahinga akomanga o Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I wehe a Willis i te kura i tana tau tuatoru i te 1977 ka neke ki New York City, i te timatanga o nga tau 1980 i tautoko ia ia ano hei kaihoko i te West 19th Street art bar Kamikaze. I taua wa, i noho ia i te Kīhini o te Reinga, Manhattan. I mahi ia hei taapiri i te whakaaturanga whakaoti a Paul Newman i roto i Te Whakatau i te tau 1982.
