"If I'd stayed a football player, my career would have been over 20 years ago. As it is, my knees are shot. I found I got the same good feeling in acting as I had in sports, but I found I could have a more profound impact on people." 
Huge sports fan, especially the Chicago Cubs.

Have those of you on facebook added 'Consider Billy' as a friend yet? If not, please do so and show Billy your support. For those who don't know about Consider Billy, its a facebook page CBS has created to gain support for Billy to receive (or be nominated at least) for an Emmy.
