Biography

Born in Chicago, Billy Zane is an American actor whose breakthrough came as the villain Hughie Warriner in the Australian thriller Dead Calm (1989). That performance brought him a Chicago Film Critics Association nomination for Most Promising Actor. After early screen appearances in Back to the Future (1985) and Critters (1986), he went on to play the title hero in The Phantom (1996) and Rose's wealthy fiancé Caledon Hockley in Titanic (1997). The latter earned him an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Villain, a Blockbuster Entertainment Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination with the ensemble cast. He also appeared as Lieutenant Val Kozlowski in Memphis Belle (1990), joined the Sniper series as Richard Miller, and played neo-fascist Curtis Zampf in The Believer (2001). He had a recurring role as John Justice Wheeler on Twin Peaks, voiced Ansem in the video game Kingdom Hearts (2002), and played lawyer Billy Flynn on Broadway in Chicago.
