Wirth was born in New York City to a lawyer father and an artist mother who may have been of part Huron Native American ancestry. [ [http://www.billywirthfanclub.com/magazines/shay.html Shay's Collection -3 ] ] [ [http://www.filmreference.com/film/8/Billy-Wirth.html Billy Wirth Biography (1962-) ] ] He attended Brown University. There, he was discovered by the noted photographer Bruce Weber, and began a modeling career in New York. He moved to California in the 1980s to pursue an acting career, which began with a role in the 1985 feature, "Seven Minutes in Heaven". His performance as Dwayne in "The Lost Boys" followed, and he landed a starring role in the 1988 film, "War Party".

Wirth has continued acting since, working in both film and television. Since 1999, he has also been writing, directing, and producing independent film. In addition to his work in the film industry, Wirth is also an accomplished musician and artist.

Wirth is widely known for his appearance on the popular television series "American Gladiators", where during the Powerball game he threw a ball at the back of gladiator Gemini's head, causing Gemini to justifiably attack Billy.
