I worked with Bill, a.k.a. Billy Bob back in the early 90s as an intern. He was funny, helpful, and an all-around great guy. RIP Bill.- Jennifer

A great guy too. He was in the Movie Piranha as a News Reporter of course. Long haired and barely out of High School.

[@ThroughTheHaze]

Was he? I haven't seen that movie in years so I forget. I need to go find that scene.
