Billy Campbell

Billy Campbell is an American actor born in Charlottesville, Virginia on July 7th, 1959. Billy Campbell originally auditioned for the role of Will Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

He popped up in 1988 in the season two episode "The Outrageous Okona" playing the titular character Captain Thadiun Okona, who was a thinly veiled pastiche of the popular Star Wars character Han Solo.
