In fact, the actor and singer/songwriter still gets a kick out of being recognized and is grateful for the incredible fortune he had in having visibility in the entertainment industry. That life is about to become an open book again as Hufsey enters a new phase of celebrity this January as one of the seven TV and film stars on VH1's latest reality series "Confessions Of A Teen Idol." The show, debuting January 4, invites seven teen idols from the 80's and 90's to live together and reflect on the highs and lows of "hearthrobbery." After receiving mentoring from a life coach and in-their-face industry experts--each one decides whether to attempt a career comeback or to pursue another career path. Billy said that he had what he calls a "void in my soul, and missing putting smiles on people's faces," so the answer screamed at him--and brought him back to Hollywood after eight years in self-imposed showbiz exile. A lifelong entrepreneur who bought, built up and sold mortgage, investment and limousine companies while working as a full-time performer, he quit acting and singing to devote more time to these endeavors which demanded a great deal of his time. Besides giving him exposure before an entire new generation of viewers, "Confessions Of A Teen Idol" is also a springboard for Hufsey to fulfill another great passion of his--singing, and more specifically, his lifelong dream of being a recording artist. On one of the episodes, he will be singing "Better Man," the inspirational first single from his upcoming CD called--what else?--Confessions. The track will soon be released to AC radio and Confessions will follow in late winter. |
