Billy's Hot New Role!

Billy Magnussen's one busy guy. He's got his awesome day job as Casey Hughes on "As the World Turns," a cool band called The Dash, and now -- a super-hot role in "Paper Dolls," the New York stage debut by playwright Patrick Huguenin.

"Paper Dolls" explores the innerworkings of celebrity scandal, and tells the story of how gossip columnist Claire Cunningham (played by Jen Jamula) and her movie star brother, Austin (played by Billy), team up to rock the pages of the New York City tabloids.

Billy gave us a bit of inside scoop about his role: "[Austin's] a former child star ... Now he's older, in his 20s. He had big hits when he was young and now he's struggling to get a job." Sounds like this guy needs his sis to spin him a little free publicity ... and that's exactly what she does. "It's interesting," Billy said, "I didn't know people do those kind of things."
