William McGoldrick, dubbed The Thin White Duke by Shawn and Gus in reference to the David Bowie stage persona, is a character who appeared in Psych: The Movie. He is portrayed by Zachary Levi.
Previously known as Billy, he was once Juliet's confidential informant, providing the information that helped put away several more hardcore criminals than himself. Juliet, however, eventually sent him to prison as well, igniting Billy's fury, he later told Juliet "You betrayed me and ruined my life!" This perceived betrayal sparked the elaborate revenge plot upon which which the movie revolves.
Once out of prison, Billy fashioned his new look on David Bowie, attempting to imitate 'the Thin White Duke', telling Shawn, the nick-name was "spot on." The consensus of ally and foe alike is that the accent was off-target, to which Billy insisted no one sounded like Bowie but Bowie.
After kidnapping Iris Vick, and arranging the final meeting between the good guys and bad guys, he is betrayed by Allison Cowley and eliminated.
He is described as a "psychopath" and a "bottle blonde" in story, as well as a "Batman villain" by the producers.
