Notes on Bill Bellamy

"The most difficult thing has definitely been movies. From a comedian's standpoint, you think being real big is the best thing, but with movies, the screen is huge, you're big anyway! Also, coming from a TV personality - MTV was all about high energy and selling the hottest video - I had to learn to [take it down]. A lot of characters I'm playing are not necessarily that kind of guy." --Bill Bellamy to Boston Herald, July 30, 1999.

Bill Bellamy, then best known for his "booty call" jokes, on starring as a Casanova in "Def Jam's How to Be a Player": "Oh, I'm going to get teased, but it's comedy. It's not a documentary. It wasn't shot in my house! It's a movie." --to New York's Daily News, July 30, 1997.
