Billy Zane IS Marlon Brando

Didn’t Brando get repeated STIs from all his whoring in Tahiti?

NGL, he looks good.

R1 he and his cronies from the film crew on his Bounty movie gave all the women the syph.

I don’t think they will put that in the film.

That's probably the closest approximation of one actor by an another that I've seen. Remarkable.

Zane should do it again.

I agree, R4.

Going back and forth between the photos, it's almost hard to tell which ones are Zane and which ones are Brando.

I hope it shows recreations of on-set antics from the filming "Reflections in a Golden Eye."

"Cutting off her nipples with a pair of garden shears. You call that normal? My God! Garden shears!"

Brando was a complete asshole. I predict a heavy whitewashing.

Great casting!

I remember back in high school when I went through my Billy Zane phase after TITANIC came out, I thought then that he would make a perfect young Brando.

But older Brando works, too.

He could sit on my face any time he wants. He looks great.

The photo of Zane as Brando circa Last Tango is eerie—Zane looks exactly like him.

Woof.

He's a very underrated actor. Aside from his film work, I saw him play Billy Flynn in Chicago and he was fantastic. Elevated the entire performance. I hope this is the start of a Fraser-type comeback.

Zane really looks like a good approximation of Brando - too bad he obviously cannot act as well.

It's like Bomer and Clift. When compared side by side, they don't look that much alike. But, when you see the one, it definitely reads like you're seeing the other.

That's a damn good "recreation."

I'm not someone who gets that hung up on actors looking JUST like whomever they are portraying; even think it's fine if it's not that close if the actor is good. But, still, this is impressive.

I read once that most of the island now shares his DNA. He was fucking everybody.

I'd like a helping of Zane . He's now a totally different type than when he was young. I would have taken it then and I'd still take it now.

As a lifelong Brando stan, I bristled at the idea of a biopic...this looks genuinely funny and entertaining (and it's not really a full on biopic anyway).

Here's the trailer

He's not as large as Brando was. Streisand said in her bio there was an embarrassing incident when he came for a visit and couldn't get out of his car because he was so fat.

I've always like him because of Demon Knight.

R19 um this takes place in the 70's...he wasnt quite as obese as he was later in life

I guess Dick Cavett didn't want someone doing him too.

R16, I don’t know about now but he was fetching in his “The Phantom” era.

Billy Zane was young and hot in the late 80s. My first memories of him are from Sheena Easton’s music videos “Do It For Love” and “Magic of Love” circa 1985-1986.

Photo on the right (at OP) looks more like Don Johnson.
