Vanguard of Hollywood

No Limits: An Interview with Billy Gray


Listen Later

Billy Gray is an actor, motorcycle speedway racer, and inventor.  You may know him best as Bud Anderson from the hit television show, Father Knows Best (1954-1960).  From his earliest film roles, Billy stood out as a kid actor who consistently brought great depth to the characters he created.  Whether playing Doris Day’s mischievous little brother in On Moonlight Bay (1951) and By the Light of the Silvery Moon (1953), Dan Dailey’s wise-cracking son in The Girl Next Door (1953), or Michael Rennie’s trusted young ally in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), Billy Gray never played the same character twice.  His uncanny ability to bring his roles to life underscored a talent developed well beyond his years. Listen as Shannon and Billy discuss his fascinating life in Hollywood, speedway racing, and innovation.
