Billy is a student at Horace Green Prep School which Dewey Finn temporary teaches at during the film. Billy was going to be a member of the security team but asks to become the band's stylist instead, living up to the nickname "Fancy Pants".
Billy tends to act quite effeminate, which is shown when he calls his outfits for the band "Glitter Rock, Glam and Fabulous".
According to NewNowNext Billy was originally supposed to be a nerdy character until Falduto auditioned and wowed the judges with his act that they customized the character. The character received negative reviews for "being a homosexual" (despite the movie never addressing it) which caused Falduto to be bullied since in 2003 the LGBTQIA+ community wasn't fully accepted yet. Ever since Falduto has tried to distance himself from being associated with that character.
