what is C.W. McCall's real name?

Answer 1

Billy Dale Fries was born on November 15th, 1928, in Audubon Iowa. Bill created C. W. McCall while working for the Bozell Jacobs advertising agency in Omaha in 1968. One of Bozell & Jacobs clients at the time was the Metz Baking Company, of Sioux City, Iowa. They asked B&J to create a new kind of ad campaign for their Old Home Bread. Bill set to work, not having any idea where this assignment would lead.

The ads featured the CB jaw-jackin', smokey teasin' trucker, and his girlfriend Mavis Davis, a waitress down at the Old Home Fill'er-up an' Keep On-a-Truckin' Café. Bill couldn't find anyone to do the voice of C.W. McCall to his satisfaction, so he did it himself.
