He is the grandson of Jacob Sylvanus Bruce-Vanderpuye, a Barrister-at-Law, Djastse and Ga Mantse (Paramount Chief) of The Otubluhun Stool, Jamestown, Accra, Ghana, formerly the British colony of the Gold Coast. The titles are hereditary, although not used by Vanderpuye or his father William Wallace Bruce-Vanderpuye Snr. The Bruce “Clan” (Nanka Bruce) are an aristocratic Ghanaian family with a pedigree tracing back to King Robert the Bruce of Scotland. The Vanderpuyes are Kings of Elmina dating back to Jacobus Vanderpuye (1780), a nobleman and Dutch Governor-General of the region at St George’s Castle Elmina.
Vanderpuye studied at the Corona Theatre Academy with Nicholas Lyndhurst and Ray Winstone and took exams at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. In 1971, he had his first role at the age of eight in the film Melody, written by Alan Parker and produced by David Putnam. He went on to work extensively with iconic British director Alan Clarke during the late 70s and 80s.
In 2002, he began commentating for K-1 and Fight Club on Eurosport under the name Will Vanders or Sensei Will Vanders. He has been at the vanguard of modern fight sport with his work at Eurosport Television, introducing K-1, Pancrase and Shooto, the basis of modern MMA, to viewing audiences in over fifty countries. He is known for his spirited coverage of K-1 events, and his catchphrases “it’s a knockdooooooown!” and “bye bye Pepsi-Cola, hello holy wine” ( a line from the song “The Last Train” by the 1970s rock band The Movies, off their album Bullets through the Barrier.)
