Billy Zane Filmography

• His teenage mission statement: "Act like Sean Connery. Dance like Gene Kelly, drive like Steve McQueen. Kiss like Clark Gable and dress like Cary Grant."
• "My parents exposed me to so much of the arts, but I think it was ultimately watching Gene Kelly and Vincente Minnelli's collaborations that really turned me on to the arts, to acting, as a kid."
• "I love working for women. It's the best."
• "I owe my success to my parents' whimsy and my grandmother's dignity."
• "I attribute my first gig to an old-fashioned traditional audition. The first break I got was "Back to the Future," but I think it was attributed to the tee shirt I was wearing- a George Jetson tee shirt. My life direction was attributed to a kitsch, souvenir off Melrose. You are what you wear!"

• B-Movie Film Festival: Best Actor, I AWOKE EARLY THE DAY I DIED (2000)
• Blockbuster Entertainment Awards: Favorite Supporting Actor - Drama, TITANIC (1998)
