Other Appearances
Bonds also had a bit part as a newscaster in a 1970 episode of It Takes a Thief and in the 1971 film Escape from the Planet of the Apes, as well as a cameo as himself in the 1987 film Robocop.
Bill Bonds also made an appearance in the Eminem music video for his hit song "Mockingbird", as a newscaster covering the imprisonment of Eminem's ex-wife Kim Mathers.
Bonds was paid a tribute of sorts in 2003 when Detroit area artists "The Billbondsmen" named themselves after him. Most recently, he has been doing TV ads for The Law Offices of Sam Bernstein.
To celebrate WXYZ-TV's 60th anniversary, Bonds returned to the news desk one more time to anchor a special news broadcast along with former colleagues John Kelly and Marilyn Turner on October 21, 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word appearances:
“What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.”
—Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
“We often think ourselves inconsistent creatures, when we are the furthest from it, and all the variety of shapes and contradictory appearances we put on, are in truth but so many different attempts to gratify the same governing appetite.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
