Bill Riddle is an American actor. July 14, 1932-May 17, 2013. Born to William Ed Riddle & Tennie Riddle. He is best known for his role as Sally the Bartender in the 1976 film - Nickelodeon. While never showcased on the big screen, Bill was a regional star for his powerful tenor voice. He turned a nonspeaking role into his first speaking role in Bound for Glory (1976) in the scene where people are being thrown off the train. Story goes, he was playing a pimp and when being thrown off the train he (unscripted) punched a guy that was going after one of his girls. The director yelled at him, but liked what he did and gave him a line. He went from a $25 a day extra to $100 a day actor.
