I was brought up on his humour.
Met him once when he was filming a scene for a film he was doing in the late 90’s
”The Debt Collector”
He was in character, and was incredibly intimidating at the time, then after I got a chat with him for a few seconds. A naturally funny man, with incredible charisma!
He was told by one of my Gaffers that he couldn’t smoke his cigar in the building, so he chucked it out the door to the car park, as soon as the coast was clear I rescued it and gave it to my dad, who then whittled a little stand for it and put it on display in his living room cabinet 🙄
My dad is a massive fan of Billy’s
Anyway, sorry to threadjack
Im away back to scouring the classifieds
