(See below.) In 1994, Houston returned to adult film in the now-infamous Junior Varsity. But it turns out he was more involved than they thought. At the time, police felt that the shooters were aiming only at the two men they did hit. He made no films in 1993: While back home in Oklahoma City, he was slightly injured on June 24, 1993, during a drive-by shooting. His third film, Headbangers, portrayed him as a 'young rocker boy' - but Houston's lackluster personality made that appear ludicrous. Unfortunately, YMAC didn't really know how to exploit Houston, a bisexual performer who seemed emotionally distant from his co-stars.
But he blasted into the stratosphere of adult film stardom with his second film, the now-classic The Devil and Danny Webster. His first film, Stroke of Affection, went unnoticed. Blue-eyed, twinky, with floppy straight brown hair and a winning smile, he worked primarily for YMAC over the next few years. In 1990, 20-year-old Billy Houston made his adult film debut.
