Billy’s bio from the liner notes of “Canada Observed”, 1967
One of Canada’s top all-round performers, and the son of a vaudeville family, Billy started regular television appearances on the CBC network, on such shows as The Barris Beat and Hit Parade, and then went on to form his own group, the highly successful Billy Van Four.
They performed on several TV shows including Hit Parade, Parade, etc.
Played by the late South African actor Fishka Rais, Igor is the show's most lovable character.
He and the group appeared in Canada, the United States, and Europe. He is also known as a talented comedian through his exposure on Nightcap and through his appearances on the show he was asked to do the Colt 45 commercials, which are seen both in Canada and the United States.
