As mentioned previously, a new book by Mark Larson will be coming out in August this year, ENSEMBLE: AN ORAL HISTORY OF CHICAGO THEATER.

Mark has shared this really interesting clip of when he asked Billy how he got into the role of Jack Henry Abbot, from the play IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST.

Here’s a brief audio clip of his response
