BIOGRAPHY: William "Billy" Simpson, at the age of nine, provided the voice of the young Spock in "Yesteryear" in 1973. He did not actually get to work with or meet any other actors during the taping. In fact, the performance used for the final episode was his AUDITION TAPE! He read all the lines "wild" and a few weeks later they cut him a check!
William Simpson dabbled in show business from age nine through about age 14 (at which time he became too tall to successfully land kid roles -- and was forcibly retired). Although he did some professional stage work ("MacDuff's Son" in the Ahmanson Theatre production of "MacBeth," starring Charlton Heston; and "Winthrop" in "The Music Man" at the Union Plaza in Las Vegas) and film and TV (notably the role of Tad Lincoln in "The Last of Mrs. Lincoln" [PBS], starring Julie Harris), his forte has been voice acting. Mr. Simpson is most proud of his performance as "The Little Prince" in the 1975 Grammy-Award-winning record starring Richard Burton, Jonathan Winters, and Jim Backus. He also had the honor of voicing the role of "Christopher Robin" in a series of "Winnie the Pooh" cartoons and records. In fact, he performed in a dozen Little Golden Book Records for Walt Disney Records in 1976.
Currently -- and for the past 16 years -- he has been "Whimsical Will" on the nationally-syndicated radio program, "The Doctor Demento Show," delivering the "Demented News" each week. William "Billy" Simpson is proud to meet the public and his e-mail address is whmsicl@concentric.net
