Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Overview… a rowdy biker with his sights set on a New Orleans brothel. Billy accompanies his partner Wyatt across the expansive American West on custom motorcycles, with cocaine smuggled inside the fuel tanks. Eager to arrive, Billy worries that the many hippies and hitchhikers they encounter along the road will slow them down and remains suspicious of outsiders. Billy indulges in various drugs, and dries to keep Wyatt on his toes as the pair embark on a search for the pure freedom that only a life on the road can offer.

Personality… fun loving, humorous, and a little paranoid. Billy is the natural accompaniment to his calm partner Wyatt, often interrupting quiet motorcycle rides with risky stunts and cracking jokes while relaxing after a long journey. His energetic demeanor cuts both ways, frequently leading to confrontations with prudish locals and drug-slinging hippies. His desire to get to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras sometimes comes off as pushy, but provides the direction he and Wyatt need to keep on the road.
