William "Wild Bill" Gokey is a contestant from Survivor: Dominican Republic.

Profile
Name: William "Wild Bill" Gokey

William “Wild Bill” Gokey was born Carlsbad, California. He moved to Los Angeles, California at the age of twenty in the hopes of becoming the next Eric Clapton. Things did not work out the way William would have liked. He played in various bands over the past twenty odd years but none of the bands he was in ever went anywhere.

William is still holding out hope that one day he will be able to make a living at playing guitar. Right now he bartends as a way of paying his bills and he still gets the occasional music gig.

William got the nickname for his hard partying ways back in the late 1980’s early 1990’s. He has been to rehabilitation for his drug addiction on three separate occasions. He has been sober since 2003 and now the only addiction that he has is cigarettes. Which is going to be a huge problem for him when he is taken part in the game. William is a very loud, obnoxious man who goes out of his way to be a jerk to others and once he considers you his enemy, you are his enemy for life and he will make your life a living hell.

William lives alone in an apartment in Los Angeles, California. He has a daughter Dawn and a son Keith who live with their mother (William’s ex-girlfriend Betty.). After years of addiction, William is making every effort to be a part of the lives of his children.

William’s reason for wanting to be on Survivor is:

Trivia

 * William is based on Richard "Evel Dick" Danato from the American version of Big Brother. I even tried to get the avatar to look something like Dick Danato. I am not sure if I will able to convey just how much of a jerk the character of William is but I hope I can.
