I've been diving into some old filing cabinet folders and found some images I totally forgot about. Shot backstage for a tv comedy special around 1990, here's Billy Bartee. Nikon camera. Probably the 105mm 2.5 and T-Max 100.

Peter, the picture is absolutely amazing and the smile is incredible. Great work as usual. It definitely earns my vote. 👍🏻
Thanks Parul. There are some great stories about Billy in certain Gilbert Gottfried's podcast that are funny as hell. I discovered the podcast not long after Gilbert died but there are over 400 episodes that help keep his memory alive and the podcast itself serves as an oral history of the entertainment business here in the U.S., including one where Gilbert lost out to Billy for a part in Mel Brooks' Life Stinks movie.
It's too bad this site now will not let me edit my post. I fixed the spelling of Billy's last name in the title bar but forgot to in the body copy. It's Barty, not Bartee.
