	Actors - Billy Van

Billy Van Evera (1934 – 6 January, 2003) was a Canadian comedian and actor.

Van was born in Toronto, Ontario. As a youth, he and his four brothers toured North America as a singing act. He first gained audience notice in the 1960s as a performer on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation produced satire programme Nightcap.

In 1971 Billy Van began making The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. It is this show for which he is most well known, and it has subsequently developed a cult following. A total of 130 episodes were produced, with Van playing almost every character.

In 1982, he hosted TVO's Bits and Bytes, a show devoted to the usage of early (mostly 8-bit) personal computers.

Van also appeared occasionally in the Canadian TV show Bizarre, hosted by John Byner.

Van died of lung cancer in 2003 at Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital.
