Is he a suspect? Does he have an alibi?
Stick to your guns.
lol My friends and I were talking about that at work.
All kidding aside, Billy was a superb entrepreneur. He made himself who he was and had a very healthy family life. I feel so bad for his family.
His son, Billy Jr, is also on the path to being a pitchman, may see him sooner than he expected.
Now I'll have to resume watching ESPN to have someone scream at me.
Some of that stuff he hawked was actually effective. Fifty is to young for anyone.

I was also really into his show on discovery. It really showed a different side of him that was very entertaining. This one really also has me most depressed than the others. He was really just beginning to enjoy the fruits of his life's labors. He glamorized the art of product pitching and seemed to enjoy what he did. I would say Anthony Sullivan is now the best in the biz. Vince is a one hit wonder so far.
The funny thing is most of us make fun of or laugh at what these guys are pitching, but it always sticks, and eventually starts to sound like a good product.
According to IMDB.com, Hackman announced his retirement in 2008. He is 79 years old now.

I don't think Hackman started acting until his late 20s or 30s....
Agreed. My wife and I were big fans of "Pitchmen." Everyday folks had their dreams and life's work realized with the help of Billy and Sully. Every interview I ever read about Billy said that he believed in and used the products he pitched. His style was loud and obnoxious but it got results. I mean, the guy gave OxiClean to his wedding guests!
I heard that Billy's son, Billy III was or is about to become the national pitchman for Taco Bell.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Nice.
And it's only $19.95. But you have to act now!

I think The Clogger was the inspiration for a plunger that Billy promoted.
