Billy Herrington

William Glen Harold Herrington (July 14, 1969 – March 2, 2018), was an American model and pornographic film actor.

He had interests in boxing, wrestling and martial arts, and started bodybuilding at 24 years old, after moving to New York City.

[4] Herrington began his erotic career when his then girlfriend surreptitiously submitted his nude pictures to Playgirl magazine.

[12] At least 15,000 mash-up parody videos of him have been made, many of which utilize deliberate mishearings (soramimi) of lines from his films.

[14] The scenes from the movies were heavily edited with another Japanese meme at the time with censorship, "Aka-san" (赤さん, lit.

mr. baby), shown in the 4th film of Herrington that was excavated by the Japanese: Buckshot Minute Man Series 18.

In addition to this, carefully selecting the title of each video to sometimes be based solely on one: the character name, and two: what the person/people in the video does/do (e.g. "Pants Wrestling Aniki Workout Edition" (パンツレスリングの兄貴 ワークアウト編, pantsu resuringu no aniki wãkuauto hen)).

Most of his videos are deliberately mistagged with "Wrestling Series" (レスリングシリーズ, resuringu shirīzu), "Forest Fairy" (森の妖精, mori no yōsei), "Philosophy" (哲学, tetsugaku), or all three.

[28] President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the petition and asked the Odesa City Council to discuss the demolition of the monument.

[29] During the evening of March 1, 2018, Herrington was involved in a car accident on California State Route 111 in Rancho Mirage.

In the autumn of 2021, a resident of Zaporizhzhia published a petition proposing that the city council rename Mayakovsky Square in honor of Billy Herrington, justifying the proposal by noting that, in addition to the square, the city has a park and an alley named after the poet, and the renaming could attract tourists.

[34] In July 2022, in Ukraine, a petition to the President of Ukraine from Odesa resident Oleksiy Matviyenko, proposing to replace the monument to Russian Empress Catherine II with a statue of American pornographic actor Billy Herrington, gathered over 25,000 signatures.

[35] Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the petition, asking the Odesa City Council to discuss the removal of the monument, in accordance with local self-government laws.
