Watch This Face: Billy Marquart

Born and raised in Quincy, Illinois, Billy Marquart had lofty dreams — dreams that would propel him from the sleepy small town to Hollywood.

Over the last three years, Billy has appeared on the hit show The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency and has watched his career on the runway and in the pages of glossy magazines flourish.

His most recent projects include the spring 2008 Abercrombie & Fitch print campaign — a seminal achievement for any male model.

We got Billy to answer our random Q&A and, here, without any further ado, are his responses!

Age: 21
Sign: Virgo
Birthplace: Quincy, Illinois
You may know me because of: Being on three seasons of The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency on the Oxygen network.
My house is: A loft in downtown L.A.
The first thing I do every morning is: Make a cup of hot green tea. I got hooked on it from living in Japan.
My must-visit website is: Billoreilly.com. I like to hear about politics and world news.
About my tattoos: I have none. I’m not a big fan of tattoos, plus I don’t think designers like them much on models.
My favorite junk food is: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
When I try to eat healthily, I chow on: Almonds, pineapple .... Anything natural is usually a good choice.
How I feel about TiVo: Never have owned TiVo, but I’m a big sports fan, so it would be good for those games I miss.
My childhood celebrity crush was on: Kelly from Saved by the Bell (Tiffani Amber Thiessen).

Lately I've been surprised by: How much classic country music I have been listening to while I’m driving.
The cereals in my cupboard are: Usually just the classic, Cheerios.
Heaven on earth is: Being together with my family and friends.
For dinner, I like to make: Italian food. But I would rather have my mom cooking something for me.
I’ll eat sushi, but not: Sushi? Honestly, I won't eat sushi.
My coolest article of clothing: My track shoes from my senior year in high school.
My most prized possession: I wear a Saint Christopher necklace around my neck. I have worn it since sixth grade.
When friends come over, we: Watch sports, freestyle each other, plan out the weekend, and if we’re ever bored we have contests in anything we can think of, like push-ups, spelling bees, debates, races down the hallway. As you can tell, we are all competitive.
My first financial splurge was: Moving out of the college dorms to a real apartment.
Wackiest fan encounter: When this girl at a club kept telling me how she has what it takes to be a supermodel.
Before I die, I want to: Visit Jerusalem.
The best perk of being a celebrity is: I don’t think I have really experienced that yet, but it would definitely have to be freedom to travel and have time for more things you want to do.
When I fly I have to have: Sweat pants and a hoodie.
People would be surprised that I: Tore both my ACLs in football. I ran college track and still play a lot of sports. People always ask me how I came back so fast after the surgeries.
The book I’m reading: In My Own Words by Mother Teresa.
If someone gave me a million bucks tomorrow, I'd: Go to the travel agency and buy three tickets to Africa. My buddies and I want to do a three-week backpack trip through the continent.
