I believe Billy P's character/personality has evolved from one role he played to another, and it was totally in line with his specific part in each film:
For instance, TLaDiLA represents the good old days of PG18
, with Billy totally aware of how hott he looked, seazing every possible opportunity to show off (and find new girlfriends of course
)
in Manhunter, he realizes that he has not only looks, but talent as well, so he choses a difficult "serious" role. Maybe he underestimated the difficulty of such an endeavor so he gets back to easier and more fun to play roles
like the one in Long Gone- totally in tune with his everlasting passion for baseball,
(i have not seen Curacao and Gunshy yet and i don't know the story lines so i've no idea if the plot actually has anything to do with WP's character at that time), but he looks gorgeous in the pics
)
my guess is he played the role in Fear when his daughter was approximately the age of Reese's Witherspoon,
and as for CSI, well this is probably the most complex and fascinating role he's played so far,
because he is now a Fascinating + Sexxy + Mysterious man himself.
I can't wait to see what his next role gonna be! I'm sure he will be absolutely fantastic and
the role will reflect the depth of his talent and maturity
