He's exactly how I imaged Billy Black. If you don't know what he looks like, here's a site: http://www.gilbirmingham.com/twilight.php
There is also a picture with him and Taylor(Jacob) with long hair. He looks so different with long hair.

Well I think he looks perfect, although I liked more the one Stephenie said in her site :D Gil could look a bit more older tho, he looks too young :?

he honestly isn't anywhere near where i pictured billy. then again, it doesn't really matter to me. as long as they get the main characters right, which they have, then i'll be just fine when it comes time for the movie.

I also had imagined him like seriously fat (not exactly obese) but reallllyyyyyyyy FAT! Most of the reasons is because he is in a whellchair and doesnt move around at all....... :roll:

There is just a few things I found different than how I pictured him.....
I did imagine Billy older and with a few strands of gray in his hair but otherwise Gil seems like a good Billy. :lol:

I think he did a great job as Billy. Played the part really well. Not exactly as I imagined him, but pretty close. He was great. Seemed normal but he still had that feel to him that made you suspicious of something, but you didn't know what. (Of course we actually did, but we still felt it.)

I think that he is PERFECT for Billy Black. He is like 9/10 of what i thought Billy Black would be!

I loved him as Billy! But wasn't he driving the truck at some point?
