This young actor played the role of Billy as a toddler. We do not know if this child is Shane Silver (Dec. 1993-August 1995, alternated with Josh), Josh Michael Rose (July 1995-June 1996, alternated with Shane ), or Blake Pontello (1994-95). Billy is shown here with the Abbott housekeeper, Mamie. {photo courtesy Benito} |

Blake {born June 19, 1992 in Los Angeles County, CA} was only shown for important events on show. Otherwise the character Billy was with his nanny. His mom (Jill Foster, shown here) and dad were too busy for a young child. By the following year Billy was aged to about 3-4 years old. {Photo by Eddie Garcia} |

Around the time Blake was in the role, at least one, if not two, young children shared the role with him. {photo on right courtesy Benito} |
