page three :: main bio page :: More About Billy
While
owning and operating a GNC store, Billy has
continued to explore opportunities in the entertainment
industry. With the ability to model, sing, and
act, word of his presence spread to Cosmopolitan
magazine. During the summer of 2000, after being
featured in the magazine as Idaho’s sexiest
bachelor, Billy became an instant celebrity
in his hometown. Several television, radio,
and print ads soon followed and so did a large
fan following. Thousands of letters and emails
from all over the world have filled his mailboxes.
“I love being able to talk to people that
are sometimes hundreds, even thousands of miles
away. For a person to take the time to write
to me is beyond imagination, I’m very
thankful.”
Putting
his personality and stage skills to the test,
Fox
entertainment contacted Billy to be a contestant
in the “Sexiest Bachelor in America”
pageant which aired nation-wide in October
of 2000. Billy showed everyone his stuff
by singing an excerpt from a Backstreet Boys
song and placing in the top 10 out of 51 competitors.
“I want to establish myself as a well-rounded
entertainer and every day you can count on
me getting closer to that goal.”
Since
then, Billy has appeared in on the Maury Povich
show where he was voted one of the most memorable
guests of the year, Jenny Jones, such magazines
as People, Life&Style,
Star, the Enquirer, television commercials,
and countless newspaper and online articles.
In 2003, the world-famous
Chippendales signed Billy for an image
contract to be used in photos, live shows,
and personal appearances. In the past two
years, he has been working non-stop touring
the globe and living his dream. He’s
been called the “gentleman” in
the entertainment business for his kindness
and generosity toward fans.
