Billy Zane

[uncomfortable man]

Here is an actor that imo could have been a major contender in Hollywood but has dropped from the scene completely, any guesses why?

 

[Obsidian]

Heard he was an a**h**.

 

[s.a.f]

Thats right it was the stupid tache and beard that ruined his career. :mrgreen:

This guy still made it. (Oh he wears a wig)[attachment=0:2ul60j5i]affleck-hair.gif[/attachment:2ul60j5i]

 

[Obsidian]

Yul Brynner did as well.

 

[Hammer87]

Didn't stop him landing the part in Titanic wearing a wig.

 

[uncomfortable man]

Yeah I think that was the last movie he was in. I didn't know he was such a dick though. Maybe that's why he never really rose above b movie actor status. :dunno:
S.A.F., thats good sh*t. Obviously photoshoped, but funny.

 

[Dario]

Benny actually looks very good with bald head...really. I would say...maybe even better then with hair....

 

[Cassin]

Here is an actor that imo could have been a major contender in Hollywood but has dropped from the scene completely, any guesses why?

Because he is a bad actor and awful to deal with

[s.a.f]

Theres no doubt that Billy is still working but I think the point UCman is trying to make is that around 1990 he seemed to have worked his way up to the point where he was getting lead roles in some films that did suprisingly well such as Dead Calm and Memphis Belle, it seemed like he was on the verge of being a major Hollywood A lister. But then he went bald seemingly overnight and his career seemed to stall then drop at that that very time (early 1990's) could it be a coincidence?

First line of Yul's IMDB bio:

Exotic leading man of American films, famed as much for his completely bald head as for his performances.

 

[ali777]

His ex girlfriend Kelly Brook was on Jonathan Ross show 2-3 weeks ago. He was teasing her that she always goes for "baldies".

She was saying that she doesn't mind a bald guy, etc... Jonathan Ross being the ever so politically correct (??) person he is, kept on asking about bald guys. I can't remember how she put it, but she implied that she was looking for someone with more hair now...

According to the British press she's with a 21 year old rugby player, so she went to opposite way and she's seeing someone much younger than her now. Billy Zane was 10-15 years older than her.

 

[Bald Dave]

I recon Billy Zane would look alot better without the beard/tash. Ben Afllick looks very good as a baldy - prob even better than with hair :shock:

 

[Dario]

He doesn't give a damn:

 

[Odie]

Yeah - if Billy can pull a stunner like Kelly then we can all live in hope

 

[s.a.f]

Yes if a famous Millionaire well connected bald Hollywood actor can pull a british girl with aspirations of making it big in hollywood, then there truly is hope for all of us. :mrgreen:
