Does anyone else think it's time Billy had a picture on his page? :P I'd put one up but I'm not sure how.

I agree! I posted the first comment, but I did not leave my name, it is Penny!

I added my personal photogarph from a public appearance to the page. I would have liked to have found something other than a profile, but that's all I seem to have taken. : Skulking 01:55, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for posting the picture!

Can't we have a better picture of Billy?

I'd be glad to supply one but I have no idea how it's done here. "rosamundeb", from www.livejournal.com

Parents died when he was 12 but no details?

Billy Boyd (actor) → Billy Boyd
Billy Boyd → Billy Boyd (disambiguation)

– Clear primary topic by pageviews (99.6%!—other three combined average four views/day) and, as a gesture toward long-term significance, ngrams spike in the wake of the actor's LOTR films. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 18:37, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It's hard to see who would even be #2 out of those other ones. But do you have any idea who that 1885 spike might represent? St Anselm (talk) 02:52, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
