"Nobody knows a damn thing about how it's going to turn out for you" 🔥🔥🔥 those words are very inspiring, especially for autistic people like me. going the long way around is an inevitability for us.
I'm glad you posted your speech for others to hear. I was in the stadium when you gave it, my niece was a graduate, and as an older actor in Chicago you gave fantastic advice that even performing artists my age can benefit from. Thank you, Billy!
Beautifully Presented, Billy - - indeed from your heart. The NW Advanced math class was - it only took 10 years to become an overnight success as now becomes a prime journey of success is a day to remember, to preserve the day as " Can Do. " Bravo
Excellent advice. I know how you’ve felt those times! Also, Bros was great, I came out of covid seclusion back to the theater for the first time for Bros, and I loved every minute.
I found Billy on The Street in 06-07 when I was on college, on the early days of UA-cam, and immediately thought it was the funniest man on the street segment ever. He came up with a shtick, perfected it, and ran with it. Kudos.
This was really inspiring 💜 And you’re so right about how the traditional route is not for everyone, ESPECIALLY in the entertainment industry. It cannot be overemphasized how important it is to take control of your own destiny, putting in the work yourself, bc in youth it’s so hard to conceptualize how things will come together for you in the future, but the unfortunate thing is that things don’t simply come together for 95% of people, you have to physically put them together yourself! There’s no ~magic agent~ that puts in the work for you, preparing a straight-forward series of steps to living your dream life. You have to figure out the steps, you have to do the steps, and sometimes you don’t put in the right steps, and sometimes the steps are right but it’s not the right time. It’s frustrating, it’s SO frustrating to not just achieve the first step and then cruise while the path builds itself before you. But you gotta do it or else you get nowhere. While it sucks that you have to put the steps together yourself, they DO all come together. You WILL turn out okay :) The best time to start was yesterday, but the second best time is now!!!
Wonderful and powerful speech! I was disappointed when I read in your comments that this was only part of your speech. It made me want to hear the other part. (But why must it include a “bad” word? Keeping in mind my tolerance for bad words is zero). Thank you, Billy, for your thought provoking words.
I think Billy kinda manifested being in The Lion King. In Billy On the Street he was playing a game & told the contestant they were like the wildebeest & that other thing. Sorry trauma don't remember names only Scar... Omg why him deep down am I Scar 😳
I just watched Billy on The Kelly Clarkson Show ❤!!! Never Give Up ❤!!! A Western Upstate NY Nurse Here
I’m glad this is not a dead channel, thx 4 uploading & not forgetting about us Billy 👍😁

He's inspiring college youth...
Billy on the speech!
This was one of the best commencement speeches I’ve seen! Thanks for sharing your story and all the doubts/insecurities you’ve had along the way
Billy you're the best! I just saw Bros which was great, and later you were in my dreams later, being hilarious. I'm a straight dude by the way.
