Re: Laurie Holden (Billy)


Just curious if anyone knows the reason for Laurie Holden (Billy) being uncredited with this role? She had such charisma and stole the show.

I hear she did it as a favor . A cameo just for laughs.

Like Chaz Palmenteri in "Night At The Roxbury", she was smart to keep her name off this thing. Even though she was the best thing about it.

I'm watching the end credits right now and it shows that the role of Billy was played by Billy. Bizarre...

Laurie Holden is a great actress. I would *assume* she had her name taken out of the credits because of her next-to-the-last scene, which I suppose was funny, but also kind of revolting... :-P

I haven't seen the film so please satisfy my curiosity as to what occurs in the next to last scene?

It was basically a parody of the most famous scene in The Crying Game.

By way of background, one of the male leads in the film (I don't remember the name of the character or of the actor) has spent the entire movie asking his personal trainer Billy for romantic advice. Billy is played by Laurie Holden, the athletic blonde Amazon goddess who starred in The Majestic, Silent Hill, and more recently in Stephen King's The Mist.

In the next-to-the-last scene, Billy unexpectedly shows up at the man's apartment wearing sexy black lingerie, knee-length high-heeled leather boots, a pair of handcuffs dangling from her belt, etc.; and professes her love/lust for him. The man sits down on the couch and waits for her to come to him. At the end of the scene, Holden, her back to the camera, stands over the lucky guy and slowly begins to undress. And then, we see, for just a fleeting moment, something that (depending on your tastes) probably shouldn't be there. The horrified man says, "you've-you've got a....?!?" She says, "you got a problem with that?"

Basically, this scene was like a reenactment of one of my fantasies gone horribly, horribly, horribly wrong.
