			== On ''Battlestar Galactica'' ==
			Campbell described his character, Billy Keikeya, as a "very compassionate person and... a real back-of-the-room-type of character that no one pays any attention to, even though he is really paying close attention to everything that’s going on."<ref group="Book">{{Cite book\|author=David Bassom\|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]\|year=2005\|publisher=Titan Books\|isbn=1845760972\|page=128}}</ref>

			Having never seen the [[Original Series]], Campbell was advised by producers [[Ronald D. Moore]] and [[David Eick]] to watch ''[[W:The West Wing (TV series)\|The West Wing]]'' as research for the role.<ref group="Book">{{Cite book\|author=David Bassom\|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]\|year=2005\|publisher=Titan Books\|isbn=1845760972\|page=128}}</ref> He viewed the relationship between Billy and [[Laura Roslin]] as a complex one, "like a mother/son relationship in some ways, but it’s also a really close friendship, so Billy’s both the son and the confidant."<ref group="Book">{{Cite book\|author=David Bassom\|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]\|year=2005\|publisher=Titan Books\|isbn=1845760972\|pages=128-129}}</ref> Regarding Billy's romance with [[Anastasia Dualla]], Campbell noted that "Billy is very attracted to Dualla... But Billy is also incredibly insecure and has no history of relationships with females, and that makes it more difficult for them."<ref group="Book">{{Cite book\|author=David Bassom\|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]\|year=2005\|publisher=Titan Books\|isbn=1845760972\|page=129}}</ref>

	In an April 2006 interview, Campbell spoke about his departure from the series:		In an April 2006 interview, Campbell spoke about his departure from the series:

	:"It was kind of my choice in a way. I was kind of given an ultimatum eventually because in between the end of season one and the beginning of season two I had actually gone to LA and booked a pilot. Because Battlestar production didn’t have me under contract, I was free to go and do that. And it was their loss if the show got picked up and I wasn’t able to come back for season two. I think that was a problem they had with a few of the cast members, that everyone was a free agent after season 1, and I think that scared them a little bit. They could have potentially lost half their cast after season 1, and I think after that, they pretty much ended up signing everyone to a contract. But I’d already been cast in another show and decided to go off on my own and see if it worked. As it turned out it didn’t work, and I ended up having a two episode hiatus after [[Resistance (episode)\|episode 4]]. I was gone for 5 and 6, then came back for [[Home, Part I\|Home Pt. 1]], I think it was. Or [[Home, Part II\|Home Pt 2]], I came back for. So after that kind of gave me the ultimatum and said sign a contract for 5 years, or we kind of need to go our separate ways. And I kind of put it off and put it off, then eventually they just said “Look, we can tell your not really committed to the show, and we can’t write story lines. So we’ve decided to kill the character. It wasn’t really a surprise, but I wasn’t expecting it to happen when it did. But I certainly wasn’t surprised that they had to do that." <ref>{{cite web\|title=Paul Campbell: Life After Billy \|url=http://mediablvd.com/magazine/index.php?option=com_magazine&func=show_article&id=84 \| author= Kenn Gold \|}}</ref>		:"It was kind of my choice in a way.
