Biography
Billy Epstein is an orphan, but not without family. While Julie is the person he is closest to, he also has his uncle Garry and Rucchel, and their daughter who steals Billy's role in a Ryan Murphy series in the Season 1 finale, Difficult Christmas.

Billy is a waiter at a Manhattan restaurant (D's Cafe.) A gay man who has a hard time settling. Much like Julie, he's an aspiring comedian who hates the fact that everyone else is more successful. Great at bantering with and morally supporting Julie. Constantly stepped on at work. Also like Julie, a proudly non-observant Jew, in stark contrast to his brother (played by Fred Armisen last season).

Auditons

 * In Devil's Three-way, Billy auditions for a role in Vice Versa (Freaky Friday type), a grown man with the mind of a child, requiring him to emote a father-son relationship. After failing to impress The Casting Director, Nate lends a paternal hand.
