	His biggest claim to fame was being the title character in the early 90's TV sitcom "Daddy's Dead".

			In Willie's mind, he is as important as any A-list actor. He makes demands like an A-list actor, setting his own work schedule, and hassling production staff until they quit in frustration.

			Willie's family all died out in his fifties, leaving him with just his ego. Willie has been marred several times and divorced each time. His marriages do not last because the women in his life discover that it's all about him.

'''Willie Sovain''' is an actor in the world of [[Champions Online MMO|Champions Online]] best known for being a pitchman for various services.

=Character History=
Some say that "Willie" was born with greesepaint in his blood. We don't know if that is true, but we do know he began auditioning for movies when he was a kid under the name "Billy So".

Unfortunately for him, he was often known simply as "So"... as in "Sooooo... who is he?"

He was quickly typecast as the smart-alec smirky kid, mostly becuse he couldn't help but smirk instead of smile.

The money he made in those small roles helped him and his family. He wanted to make more, but he still needed to go to school.

As a young adult, "Billy So" had a hard time getting roles outside of being an extra. In order to make ends meet, he began selling insurance. One of his supervisors remembered him from one of his movie appearances and asked if he would be willing to be their spokesman for local commercials. That's when he became known as "That Insurance Guy".
