Virgilio "Billy" Garcia was born in New York and moved to Miami when he was seven years old. He began studying karate, judo and wrestling at age 12. While lying sick in bed when he was 15, he heard the song "Juke Box Hero" on the radio and began to entertain the idea of becoming a rock and roll musician. He saved his lunch money and eventually bought his first electric guitar. When he was 22 years old, Garcia sold most of his belongings and returned to New York to pursue a career in music. While playing in several local bands, Garcia was also pursuing a career in wrestling and, in 1997, won a silver medal at the Amateur Athletic Union Wrestling National Championships. Garcia is currently a heavy metal guitarist and songwriter with the band Forsakken. He also continues to pursue professional wrestling under the name "Spanish Fly." He previously worked as a manager of a video store, a club bouncer and a music store sales representative. He attended the Borough of Manhattan Community College. He is a former U.S. Marine. Garcia is trained in the martial arts. His hobbies include playing guitar, wrestling, karate, softball and judo. He is most proud of winning his AAU National Championship medal. His hero is Kurt Angle for winning an Olympic gold medal in wrestling with a broken neck. Garcia currently resides in New York. His birth date is April 22, 1970.

Another with no favorite non-alcohol drink. He sure gave a lot of answers compared to some of the others though. Seems like he's really into music & movies.

From watching the Early Show. Not working was his strategy and it backfired. Huge fan of the show. In hindsight, he should have NOT taken any leading role (blaming Ozzy). He was seeking "affection" and glamed onto the words of Candice. Thought the ethnic group division was "good for Survivor, but bad for me" because he does not fit into the Hispanic group (being a Heavy Metal rocker) and maybe he his group thought he would quickly jump over to the Caucasian group. 'squeek'

What those other guys did to him was just mean. It smacked to me of picking on the big guy in high school. Billy seemed like a really good guy on the Early Show.

Somewhere on one of the threads someone posted the dialogue of the ones in the voting booth. Most everyone mentioned that they hope Billy feels better. In other words he had apparently said he wasn't feeling well to them. Though IMO they had plenty of reason to vote him off. I don't agree with their decision to throw the challenge though.

i don't think they should have thrown the challenge either, but billy had no work ethics on the island at all. he was so lazy, i would have had trouble not screaming at him. you don't have to kill yourself working, but you should at least make an attempt to help your teammates with something...anything. he was worthless on 'survivor', although he seems like basically a nice guy outside of the show. and he could be doing 'damage control' on talk shows after seeing himself on the aired 'survivor' shows. i did laugh at the probster's face when billy did his candice 'love' speech. i wonder if candice has any idea anything 'special' happened between candice and billy at the challenges!

what's really scary is that he was born only a month before the kent state shootings and i remember that like it happened yesterday. i was 16. how the hell did 36 years pass already?! he was born on the very first 'earth day', too. anyone else remember those events? and who's that middle-age woman who stares back at me from store windows?!
