Zoolander: Billy Zane's Cameo Remains Perfect
Listen to your friend Billy Zane. He's a cool dude.
[removed]
Seriously. Zane’s got his fuckin BACK.
Soon as zoolander says “I’m not ur bra” Zane’s facial reaction is the best…
We should all be the friend like Billy Zane.
"He's trying to help you out!"
Damn, any time Billy Zane comes up, my wife and I always quote this.
“Put a cork in it, Zane!”
Put a cork in it, Zane!
Derelick my balls
Capitán*
I can derelick my OWN balls
Zoolander is just perfection
Good thing they never tried to make a sequel.
Idk those 10+ years after sequels are always successful.
The thing sequel was good (even tho it was a prequel)
Blade Runner 2049 has to be the best example of a damn good sequel after 10+ years.
Oh, but it could have been so much better (movie had practical effects, but the studio went "fuck it, put cgi over all of it")
If you forget the rest of the movie, it was worth it to see bodybuilder Mugatu.
sobs uncontrollably
Zoolander taught America how to laugh again after 9/11.
That’s a little heavy. And dopey
Billy Zane was a sleeper hottie and he doesnt get the credit he deserves
Ever seen Demon Knight? He was perfect for the part.
Loved that movie, in large part because he was so damn good at being bad.
Fuck this cowboy shit! You fucking hoedown, podunk, well them there motherfuckers!
As a transplant living in the South I find myself thinking of this line with alarming, but refreshing, frequency.
“Yes, Billy Zane,” I think. “I’m right there with you, buddy.”
Looove him in that movie. His voice is so perfect as a demon.
Did you ever see that mid-90s movie that he stars in called The Phantom? It is….. not good, but I remember seeing him in it and going ‘damn, Billy Zane can get it!’
Thats the one! Omfg so so fine.
My kid loved this movie for about 3 months when he was 6 for no apparent reason I could ascertain, but at least I got to look at Billy Zane.
...mom?
I thought I told you to clean your room. What are you doing messing around on Reddit, young man
It's a walk off!
I always thought Billy Zane would make an amazing Lex Luthor
After seeing him in Demon Knight, I fully endorse this casting dream.
I always thought he should have been a bigger star. Like Marc Singer in the 80s.
So does Bowie’s
One of the most random cameos ever.
Almost as random as Billy Zane’s cameo in Community.
[angrily pretends to look away]
Hands down my favorite Ben Stiller film too many laughs that it hurts.
But why male models?
Love Billy Zane. Love the movie. Pointless article.
Give film blogs a little slack, it’s been a slow year and a half.
Imagine how many film journos have been running their eyes along their DVD collections, desperately trying to come up with something to write.
When will the marvel movies die off?
Especially given that one has to suspect that, even under these conditions, there are limitations as for what sort of films they could submit articles about and expect to be paid for.....
Imagine just... Not putting out content when there's nothing good to write about
It's never a bad time to remind the world of the greatness of Billy Zane.
He should not be forgotten for his role in Winter Dragon, the Wheel of Time knockoff pilot/prequel thing.
Billy zane was amazing as the phantom. Pity that movie never got the recognition it deserved
Very convincing in Tombstone as well, despite it being a small part
Can't forget Tales from the crypt
Or BTTF 1 & 2.
Demon Nights, we used to watch that as kids
Was he the friend who got murdered?
He's the Shakespearean actor. If I remember right he doesn't get killed
Damn straight, awesome movie
I definitely had a Phantom ring that I think I got from 7-11. I wore it every day in 4th maybe 5th grade I think.
Also as The Collector in Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight
Also he owned being Ansem in the first Kingdom Hearts. Not that the voice actor who replaced him in the follow up games was bad or anything, but Billy Zane really brought menace to the role.
I just played Kingdom Hearts for the first time the other week and I loved Billy Zane as Ansem. He has such a menacing voice. Then I moved onto Chain of Memories and was sorely disappointed that it was him anymore.
No, that should definitely be forgotten and buried. If I remember Harriet was not happy about that half-assed attempt at a pilot
Wasn’t that one of those pilots they do to make sure they keep the rights?
Yup- aired at 3 in the morning as a time buy, after being shot at a very fast speed.
Having said that, I wouldn't say no to Zane making a small appearance as a relatively minor character that gets killed off in short order. Hell, slap a grey wig and goatee on him and he could be an even more memorable Bel'al than the book version.
I'd like to throw in a mention for Memphis belle which was the first movie role I saw him in.
You should listen to your friend, he’s a cool dude. He’s trying to help you out
Put a cork in it Zane!
Once Billy Zane had my back in a walk off. Then I realized I had been taking peyote all week, and maybe none of it was happening.
Why are there multiple Zoolander articles coming out today? Did I miss the anniversary?
The real cameo star of Zoolander is Garry Shandling
Don't do this, Derek.
He was really solid in Tombstone too!
That movie, in my humble opinion was the best Val Kilmer role in existence.
I will never not love “I’m your huckleberry. That’s JUST my game.”
Could not agree more. It was a legendary performance. If you act as well as Val Kilmer in Tombstone, then you are a Hall of Fame actor. Curly Bill is great! Kyle Reese as Johnny Ringo is awesome. But just digging through it... even the 90210 connection works out awesome. So much good casting! That film is a piece of art for sure, but you're right on that Val Kilmer just... takes it to a completely different level with his superb performance. A desert island film for sure!
Oh 100% spot on. Would definitely make the desert island list. You’re right though; the casting in that movie is perfect all the way around.
"Say when!"
“Must be a peach of a hand…”
Bowie’s cameo is amazing. A cameo so epic they literally pause the movie and give him a lower third.
the whole article and not one link to the cameo?! I don’t remember every scene damn
I'm not your bra, brah.
Everybody owns this dvd, always worth a watch
DVD? Poooooooor!
What?
Okay!
[removed]
Language 😑
You don't remember the walk-off scene?
if only there was some website that had nearly every video you could think of in one place. you could just search for whatever you were looking for and it would come up. maybe they call it you-box or I-tube or something
He’s too limber…
[removed]
No way, Demon Knight and The Phantom are both gems.
Also, ever heard of Titanic?
All three of those roles were pre-Zoolander.
Earth to Matil…. hellllooo..
He was also the main antagonist of Kingdom Hearts 1. That game had some odd casting choices in general though.
Website sucks.
Poor Billy Zane always getting cheated on by his hot girlfriend:
Titanic
Survival Island
Perfect? I can't remember anything about Billy Zane's cameo in Zoolander save for a line that he didn't say. They could have got anybody for that role.
Oh imagine my surprise, yet another thread about straight, cisgender white men 🙄
Username checks out
Do you have a problem with fostering an inclusive environment for all genders, sexual orientations and people of color?
Wtf are you babbling about?
There's a time and a place, jizzvaper.
Billy Zane, the dragon reborn
System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian was also in Zoolander.
he was part of the VH1 Awards audience, you can barely find him even if you try lol.
I think the amount of times me and my friends have shouted: “Put a cork in it Zane!” Must be in the literal thousands.
Everyone's casting was perfect in Zoolander.
......it's a walk off. It's a walk off.
That man was painfully fine. It was like staring at the sun, so beautiful and powerful you have to look away
He's really really good in Sniper with Tom Berenger, but I really hated his character!
I know how r/movies feels about Zoolander 2 but I thought Zanes cameo worked well in that too
I'll never miss an opportunity to note that Roger Ebert was a pretentious dick.
My buddy Derek, here, has been brainwashed to kill the prime minister of Micronesia
Malaysia
RIGHT!
