And a happy 44th birthday to Billy Zane, who has fallen right off of the face of the Earth. He was in the previous biggest movie of all time! With all this Titanic talk lately he's barely gotten a smidge. Besides the usual derisive sneer, of course. I think he was a delightful ham therein, and knew what he was doing, but whatever, I cannot fight the tide. Still Titanic is not his finest moment. (And no, neither is The Phantom.) That would be where the shot above is from - Dead Calm, the 1989 Aussie thriller with Nic Kidman and Sam Neill. I documented a bunch of him in that film before, but let's have a look see some more because it really is worth gawking at whenever one finds an excuse. Perfection.

ha ha...I remember being so confused seeing Dead Calm for the first time...how could someone that pretty be the bad guy...was I sure Sam Neil wasn't really the baddie???
My most recent ex was a hairier version of Zane, whom II've lusted after ever since "Dead Calm." I hope Zane isn't as big of a tool as my ex was...
He's back -- on the small screen at least -- on "The Deep End" a new law show. :)
I wish 'Blood & Concrete: A Love Story' would get a dvd release-I've heard it's one of his favorite roles & it's a lost indie classic...
