RIP Billy!
I never really thought much of Billy, besides the Oxyclean guy, till Pitchmen came out. It really changed my perspective on him. He wasn't some weirdo celebrity (see the Sham Wow guy
). He was down to earth, a great father/family guy behind that beard. And very relateable, not necessarily to yourself, but everyone has that friend that was always the center of attention. That was Billy... And while he didn't nessecarily come from rags, he was really one of American success stories that did it the 'honest way,' by working his tail off.
