Willy Schober

- Origins unknown; some believe his real name was Willy Morales and was from Mexico (see below), sometimes known by his co-stars as "Mad Willy" or "Crazy Willy"

- From Nick Nicholson's unpublished memoirs "Pinoywood Central Casting": Willie also used the name Morales and would tell people that he was Mexican. Here was a real character. A Korean War vet, and also a former POW. There were scars around Willies ankles from where he had been hung  upside down by wire by the North Koreans. If you were able to get close to Willie he was a very interesting person and so damn funny. He would go around and tell people, “I lie so much I have to  sleep standing up” or, “I would rather hear a young boy fart than a pretty girl sing”! A few years later he was murdered in Ermita by a drive by shooter who was never identified or apprehended. Some say it was the work of a politician who wanted to close down the red light district for his own personal gain. I might tend to agree with that theory.
