Knew he was in a bad way but didn't think it'd happen this soon. I mostly known him as Ferdinand in Three Houses and Maruki in Persona 5 Royal, but everything I've heard him in he's been great and he seemed like a really good guy. Just awful that this happened.

I wonder if he did the voice acting for Ferdinand in the upcoming Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes. If so, it's going to be eerie hearing him posthumously, but also a great tribute to a character he loved playing.
I had a feeling this would happen when he announced he had stage 4 colon cancer, but I didn't expect it so soon. My heart aches for his family, friends, Erica, and the voice acting community. We lost a real good one.
RIP Billy.

Really says a lot for how good the guy was that he could make the character simply saying his name so damn memorable. |

I can say with complete sincerity that this news has ruined my day.
Fellow voice actor Kaiji Tang created this thread a few days ago. I wonder if he knew this was coming and it was his way of preparing/coping.

I wonder if he knew this was coming and it was his way of preparing/coping. I don't know how close they were but Billy died a few days ago. They waited before everyone close to him knew before going public. My guess is that Kaiji probably knew he didn't have long at the time. Seeing Robbie Daymond tell all his fellow VA's he loves them when they post about Billy is breaking my heart. |

Yeah, it's pretty much gotta be, that kind of thing would have been locked down a while ago. |
