Born in El Paso, TX, Billy got into music way before his acting career. As a kid he would play and write songs on his uncle’s guitar and played on his grandmother’s electric organ, playing Christmas songs. He’d also play as characters, whether it was Batman or Superman or any Star Wars character. He and his neighborhood friend would do this and create their own plot and make up their own villains and what not.

By the time he was a teenager, he started his first rock band with a couple of his classmates. They would write their songs and perform house parties for their friends and family. He would later start another band during his senior year and play the schools talent show which would lead him to endeavor more musical task as he graduated from high school.

By his mid twenties, he was bored with the music scene and wanted to get into acting. He would later find some acting classes and take lessons. Billy would then run into an old friend at a mutual friend’s movie premier, And learn that the two have a passion for acting. His friend would take him under his wing and give him some pointers. Billy would then have better lessons into acting, getting a head shot and signing on to his first agency.

Trial and error would be Billy’s experience on finding his comfort zone while auditioning. Nothing was really turning out the way he envisioned. He would get little roles here and there, but nothing that would take him to that next level.

He would soon later get turn back into music and find somewhat of a success to his comfort by starting a band with two of his old buddies called Surgeon General. They would tour and open for the biggest names in rock. This would last him a good five years till he would jump from band to band just to find that next level. Billy then would sign to a national band from L.A., Earshot, and tour the nation playing arenas and amphitheaters and getting a major endorsement with Dean Guitars. But it was short lived with disappointment and coming back broke.

During this time Billy would get a call from his agency which he hadn’t heard in a while. His old talent agent was replaced and the new one wanted to get in touch with all his old talents. Billy would meet with him and get everything updated and go back out to auditions. However at this time Billy was warned if he doesn’t get booked, he was going to get let go. Very harsh meeting this was.

He gets his first audition with his new talent agent and nails the part. This would be Billy’s first national commercial. It was a “Joe’s Crab Shack” commercial. From that point on it was a domino affect. Soon after that he would get a part in, “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell”. They would delete his scene. But that wouldn’t matter. He then would book his first Syfy movie, “Mongolian Death Worm”, with Sean Patrick Flannery playing the lead bad guy role. Soon after that, Billy would book his first DC Comic action movie, “Jonah Hex”, with John Malcovich, Josh Brolin and Megan Fox. But it would be Robert Rodriguez’s movie that would put him on the map, “Machete” starring

Danny Trejo. Billy would work along side with Don Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez and Robert DeNiro. This would also put Billy as one of the actors to ever kill Deniro in a movie.

Billy then would get minor roles in some independent films such as, “Natural Selection”. This film would win multiple awards in the Film Festival circuit. And get a part in his first series show, “Breakout Kings”.

During this time, Billy would put another band that would get him signed for his own music. The label is Down Boys Records and the band that would sign is, Love Stricken Demise. Down Boys Records is owned by a couple of members of the band, Warrant. This would lead Billy getting great reviews of his music through out the music industry and actually making some income for it.

At last, Billy has a couple of more films coming out next year, “The Last Stand”, with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Forest Whitaker and the sequel to Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete”, “Machete Kills”, with Trejo, Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen.
