	Actors - Bill Hayes

Bill Hayes (born William Foster Hayes III, on 5 June, 1925, in Harvey, Illinois) is an American actor, best known for his role as Doug Williams on Days of Our Lives.

Hayes originally played the role from 1970 to 1984. He returned in 1986 and 1987, as well as 1993 and 1996. Most recently, he has been on the show since 1999, only to have his character killed off in the spring of 2004. In an elaborate plot hatched by writer James E. Reilly, he turned up alive on a tropical island and went home to his wife.

He has been married to fellow Days of Our Lives co-star Susan Seaforth since 1974. His character's partnership with Seaforth's character, Julie, is widely believed to be the first supercoupling on the American daytime serials.

Hayes was a singer on the Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca variety show Your Show of Shows in the early 1950s. During the Davy Crockett craze in 1955, three recorded versions of the Davy Crockett theme was in the top 30. Hayes' version was the most popular, and reached #3 for the year. His singing career found its way to his storyline on Days of Our Lives; in the story, Doug was introduced as an convict who was also a lounge singer.

He can also been seen on the show today, and he is now over 80 years of age living happily.
