Billy Mays: Behind the Scenes at a Commercial Shoot
March 22, 2009 – 7:24 pm by Savvy Shopper
Thanks to FOX 13 in Tampa Bay for taking us behind the scenes as Anthony Sullivan produces a new commercial starring Billy Mays. Here’s a segment that ran on the Fox 13 6 pm news a few days back. In this interview, Billy talks about assuming his pitchman persona as he prepares for the camera to roll:
“Whatever product I’m selling, it’s like putting on Superman’s cape,” he says. “I become Billy Mays, the ultimate pitchman. And that’s who I am. And I’m proud to be that.”
Billy also claims that the more he yells over the course of a day, the stronger his voice gets. Must come from the years he spent pitching portable washing machines on Boardwalk in Atlantic City.
Here’s some additional behind-the-scenes footage from the story:

I hope in his reality series they show how he gets that rocking beard.
