CharacterBilly Flynn, a sleazy lawyer who represents Roxie Hart.
How Kevin Got the Role
Chicago contacted the booking agent that did all of the Backstreet Boys' concert bookings. They called Kevin and said, "Would you be interested in playing the role of Billy Flynn?" Kevin replied, "Are you kiddin' me? Of course!"
Summary
In roaring twenties Chicago, Roxie Hart, an ambitious chorus girl, murders her lover. She then convinces her gullible husband, Amos, that her lover was in fact a burglar. Amos agrees to take the rap until the police convince him that the burglar was in fact Roxie's lover. Thus, Roxie goes to jail and joins another famous stage performer and murderess, Velma Kelly. Both Roxie and Velma are headline hunters seeking to capitalize on pre-trial publicity for the sake of acquittal and stage careers. In the end their tricky lawyer, Billy Flynn, manages to get both Roxie and Velma free. However, another woman shoots up the courthouse and steals the limelight - effectively ending the careers of both Roxie and Velma.
