Career
After the war, Hill worked as a newspaper reporter in Texas, then took advantage of the GI Bill to do graduate work at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland on James Joyce's use of music in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. Some sources say he graduated in 1949 with a Bachelor's degree in literature. Other sources say his thesis was never completed because he became sidetracked by the Irish theatre, making his stage debut in 1948 as an actor at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin with Cyril Cusack's company in a production of George Bernard Shaw's The Devil's Disciple.
