Make a choice, to take a chance, to make a difference.

My purpose is to figure out "what the hell happened to Billy Zane?"

Titanic ruined him. He is so recognized as a caricature of a villain.

Did you not hear what he said in his IMDB personal quotes section?

[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."

From his role as a part of Biff's gang in multiple Back to the Future movies to wicked Cal in Titanic—as well as his memorable work in Charmed, a Zoolander cameo, and dozens of other movies and TV shows—Billy Zane was once a reliably dashing presence on screens both big and small. But he doesn't seem to pop up to provide his quirky charm as much anymore, and we've wondered what he's been up to recently. Here's why you don't see Billy Zane much anymore…and how that could change.
