    It's really a shame that no directors (besides James Cameron) were able to utilize the raw talent Billy Zane has. He really is one amazing actor and he's shown it when he's been given the right part and script. He's been unlucky when it comes to the scripts he's chose and the fact that no writers or directors were able to tap into his full potential.
    He's a very down-to-earth guy. So many celebs are pricks, but Zane is the opposite of his Titanic character Kal.

      Billy Zane on what caused his career to decline: "One word: alimony. I was married at 21 for eight years with no children to a lovely girl, Lisa Collins, and we're still friends, but L.A. law had gouged my assets and required exorbitant ransom for the better part of five years, and I chose ultimate freedom, and was happy to do anything to pay off a ridiculous monthly alimony. Dude, it was heinous for a young man, and this was happening right in the middle of Titanic. From that point on, if you see a nose dip, I was basically doing anything that paid to pay that off so it didn't get extended, because then there's a penalty."

I have been saying for several years that Billy Zane would make the perfect Lex Luther. Whether it be on Television or on the Big Screen. He is so charismatic and zany that he would be the most likable Lex Luther in History. He would be a million times better than Kevin Spacey or Jesse Eisenberg.

    • @NoJusticeNoPeace
      @NoJusticeNoPeace 7 років тому +4

      I don't think so. Hollywood has a really bad track record when it comes to pulp material because they just don't get the source. Pulp is equal parts campy and hard-boiled film noir, and has a pre-Second World War fascist subtext of white supremacy, misogyny, and casual racism. Because of the historical context it emerged from, it's impossible to give pulp mass appeal; if done properly, it's at best a niche market.
      The Shadow movie, by the way, was probably closest to the original source material, and you saw how badly it was savaged by critics and ignored by audiences. They made the mistake of marketing it as blockbuster action movie. I'd love to see Lady Domino, Doc Savage, Phantomas, and all the other pulp heroes get the big screen treatment, but it's unlikely to happen unless they rip the guts out of them -- in which case it will suck anyway.

      Exactly. The "won't" implies that he did something that caused his absence from Hollywood. Instead, he's just doing his own shit and doesn't care.

    I liked Zane as the Phantom. The main plotline was weak, but it definitely had the right flavor. Zane was a good Kit Walker and the movie played some great fan service for Phantom fans, the few that we are.
    Speaking of fan service, The Shadow was very good, too. It was a rich combination of the long-running radio show character and the Shadow from the novels Maxwell Grant novels.
    The problem is that The Shadow and The Phantom, and even John Carter, are pulp heroes from the 20s and 30s. Not many people know who they are and their re-introductions to the world were mis-handled. Makes me wonder how they will handle the Doc Savage movie that is rumored to going into production soon.

    If you look at his IMDB, he had 4 roles in 2018 and is currently in 1 TV show and was in a couple of episodes of The Boys. He is in 6 different films currently in post-production or filming for 2020. I think he is doing just fine.

  • @TralfazConstruction

    Billy Zane was superb in The Phantom (1996). After seeing the film in a theater we also rented the VHS cassette from Blockbuster while they were running a Phantom promotion that included a packet of microwave popcorn, a nice-sized plastic bowl with a lid (for the popcorn) and a few other goodies.

  • @that_goth_bitch3899

    He's a great actor. I wish he would be in more movies. He did great playing that psycho in Dead Calm and as we all know he did fantastic in Titanic. I mean Kal is one of those Jeremy Irons-esc type characters. Y'know? Like you "love to hate him" type thing. And it takes a hell of an actor to pull off that rare hit. It's hard to achieve that type of villain. Billy Zane did it flawlessly.

    A dear departed friend of mine had some very incredible jobs, one of which was being part of Hugh Hefner's security detail. I'm told Hefner had a policy of no drugs at the mansion, well they found Billy Zane passed out on a walkway on something and he was banned for life. He repeatedly tried to get permission to return, but was refused every time.

    I think it's a shame. They just gave him too many lame character roles. I remember seeing him a long time ago in a movie called Dead Calm with Nicole Kidman (x wife of Tom Cruise) and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, Hunt for Red October). I thought he was pretty good in that one.

    I truly love Billy Zane's portrayal of Cal in Titanic. A role that would stand the test of time. Billy should only do high drama. And keep his freshly-queezed-orange-juice-in-a-movie-theater-campaign weight. He said that. Once. Whilst bringing a bunch of oranges. To a movie premiere. I think. Best wishes, Billy. God bless! 😀
