Bill Roe was eleven years old when he rode a trolley to Bavaria Studios, waved to the guard, and went to work scooping foam out of the chocolate river on the set of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Some lucky bastard is going to be the first to ask him all about his incredible career. Alan and Nathan are those bastards.
