Billy Lush
After studying theater at Florida State University Billy Lush paid his dues getting a number of small guest roles in shows like "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit," "Without a Trace," and "ER." But in 2007, Lush landed a major part in the Paul Haggis NBC show "The Black Donnellys." The show focused on three Irish-American brothers (one of them played by Lush) from Hell's Kitchen who are mixed up with organized crime and must deal with the ever-changing landscape of their working class neighborhood. He also played a Marine in David Simon's acclaimed 2008 HBO miniseries "Generation Kill," about the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
