The singer played Miley Stewart's (Hannah Montana's) father Robby.
Billy tells Hollywood Life, 'They’re talking about doing a prequel, which to me, I would do that in a heartbeat.'
He jokes, 'Because that means I get to get my mullet back.'
The original Disney Channel series follows the story of a teenage girl named Miley Stewart, played by Miley Cyrus.
By day, Miley's an unpopular high school student and by night she's a massive pop star.
As the show goes on, her secret becomes harder and harder to keep.
Hannah Montana ran for four seasons from 2006 to 2011 with the release of a movie in 2009.
And it seems Billy thinks there's definitely an interesting prequel story to be told.
'I think there’s a whole story that led up to Miley becoming Hannah Montana.'
Billy not only play's Miley's father in Hannah Montana, but he's also her father in real life.
He tells Hollywood Life that he was skeptical of taking on the role in the first place.
'They had cast me as her dad, and I said, ‘They should get a real actor.''
He says he thought to himself, 'I don’t want to mess that show up.'
'They should get a real actor to play her dad, because this is a great script and a great concept.'
Billy knew the show would be a massive hit, he thought, 'It’s going to blow Miley up. It’s going to be big.'
Nothing has been confirmed by Disney just yet.
