The Grim Invasion of Gravity Falls (Crossover Animation)
Richard Hollingsworth for Billy
Billy has matured since he was ten years old. Now, in his twenties, he's not quite as spastic. What he lacks in book smarts, he makes up for in emotional intelligence. That doesn't stop him from being annoying and obnoxious at times! He can still be a goofball, and when paired up with Dib, it's a dangerous combination. Dipper finds them irritating sometimes.
I've always felt like Billy would be the least "loserboy" out of the three of them. Although he still has similar geeky interests, he doesn't hold the same desperate obsession with the paranormal that the other two do. He's been friends with the grim reaper since he was eight years old, so it's all normal to him! He spends less of his time actively pursuing the paranormal in his older years, (the paranormal tends to simply appear in his life) and more time with Mandy, steadily falling into domesticity with her, becoming her unconventional trophy boyfriend. However, he's still along for the ride, and happy to participate in whatever supernatural (or mundane) hijinks Dipper and Dib have in mind.
His voice: I'm NOT asking for you to do your best Richard Horvitz impression, that would be asking a lot. So I'll try to take some of the pressure off - he shouldn't sound exactly like his younger self. I based his design off his dad, Harold, and if he takes after his dad, he'd probably sound somewhat like him. Of course, creative interpretation is cool!
Here’s some clips of Billy's dad that might help! Here's one! Here's another!
Note: I'm 100% ok with, and encourage improvisation with these lines. They don't need to be exact, be creative if you want! If you are feeling up for it or are inspired, improvise your own lines too! Come up with whatever you like, whatever you think Billy might say. I'm super excited to hear your audition.

"Uhhh, hi, yeah, I'll have the lumberlog extreme, the combo with chili fries. Hold the chili. What about you?"
*Billy doing his serious, tough guy voice* "He'll need the energy in the coming days."
*Laughs* "Don’t worry Dib, she's not mad at you! She just doesn’t like you is all!"
