More on Billy Hayes
Description from Wikipedia:
William "Billy" Hayes (born April 3 1947 in New York) is an American writer, actor and director. He is best known for his autobiographical book Midnight Express, about his experiences in and escape from Turkish prisons after being convicted of smuggling hashish.
Hayes, an American student, was caught trying to smuggle hashish out of Turkey in 1970. He was originally sentenced to four years and 2 months in a Turkish prison, which was later extended to a life sentence. He escaped in 1975 to Greece, and then home.
Hayes wrote a book on his ordeal, Midnight Express, which later became the film hit Midnight Express, released in 1978, starring Brad Davis as Hayes. The film was directed by Alan Parker, with a screenplay by Oliver Stone. The movie differs from Hayes' real life experiences in a number of respects, including a scene in which Hayes kills a prison guard. Nothing of the kind took place in real life.
Hayes is still active in the entertainment industry, specifically acting and writing. One of his successes was writing and directing 2003's Southside (later released as Cock and Bull Story in the US).
