Biography |
William Terence Kirby (born January 2, 1973), is a physician
and an American television personality. He was the winner of
the American reality television show Big Brother 2 and one
of the final four contestants in Big Brother 7:All-Stars.
Kirby resides in Los Angeles where he practices dermatology.
Apart from his medical practice and television appearances,
Kirby's other business interests include investments in Mike
Malin's Dolce Group, a Big Brother-themed clothing line and
his own line of skin care products.
Born in Florence, Italy, Kirby was raised in Tallahassee,
Florida where he graduated from Florida State University
School. His father and step-mother, David Kirby and Barbara
Hamby, are both authors and have been professors in the
English Department at Florida State University for over 35
years.
In 1995, Kirby received his degree in Biology from Emory
University. He obtained his degree in Osteopathic Medicine
from Nova Southeastern University in 2000 and did his first
year of postgraduate training in Internal medicine at Mount
Sinai Medical Center & Miami Heart Institute in Miami Beach,
Florida in 2001.
In both the Big Brother seasons in which he was a
contestant, Kirby forged various alliances that often proved
illusory, although his loyalty to the group of males and
females known as "Chill Town" was never shaken. Despite
never winning a Head of Household competition and being
nominated for eviction four times during Big Brother 2,
Kirby's strategy of deceit with a Machiavellian flair
prevailed and he won the show's $500,000 US top prize by a
5-2 jury vote of evicted contestants.
On July 3, 2006, producers chose Kirby to re-enter the Big
Brother house to take part in Big Brother 7:All-Stars, CBS's
All-Star edition of the long-running reality show. Kirby and
fellow Chill Town alliance member, Mike 'Boogie' Malin duped
most of the house guests and survived all the way to the
final four. Despite having the most brazen alliance in Big
Brother history, Chill Town still worked "secret ninja
style" and was able to lure the other house guests into a
false sense of safety while simultaneously convincing them
to evict their own close friends and alliance members. Kirby
was eventually evicted on September 5, 2006, by his
"Showmance", Janelle Pierzina, and he joined the seven
member jury. His alliance partner, Mike Malin went on to win
the top prize. |
