Billy Connolly (born November 24, 1942) is a Scottish comedian, musician, presenter and actor. He is sometimes known, especially in his native Scotland, by the nickname The Big Yin (The Big One). His first trade, in the early 1960s, was as a welder (specifically a boilermaker) in the Glasgow shipyards, but he gave it up towards the end of the decade to pursue a career as a folk singer in the Humblebums and subsequently as a soloist. In the early 1970s he made the transition from folk-singer with a comedic persona to fully-fledged comedian, a role in which he continues. He also became an actor, and has appeared in such films as Indecent Proposal (1993); Mrs. Brown (1997), for which he was nominated for a BAFTA; The Boondock Saints (1999); The Man Who Sued God (2001); Water (1985);The Last Samurai (2003); Timeline (2003); Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004); Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006); and The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008).

[Read my first story first through searching my profile] Set towards the end of Peter's second year at university, in summer 2027, acclaimed alumnus Alison Smythe returns to New York from the West Coast, posing as an innocent entrepreneur whose work Peter admires whilst she secretly plots the usurpation of her estranged father Spencer as CEO of Roxxon Corporation. Alison's criminal activities are first brought to Peter's attention by the mysterious Black Cat, who helps Peter uncover Alison's alliance with the notorious Lonnie Lincoln in order to secure their hold on Roxxon and the surrounding criminal underworld. Throughout the film, Alison and Lonnie place multiple hits on Spencer, finally succeding upon forming the Sinister Six in the climax when Spider-Man and Black Cat thwart every other attempt; Peter is left in a river to die. The film explores themes of maturity, wherein Peter has adopted responsibility but is too uptight, Felicia knows how to enjoy life but lacks Peter's responsibility, Lonnie intimidates people (including NYPD officer Jefferson Davis) into getting what he wants, and Carol is an obsessive perfectionist and completionist.
