Billy Zane


So handsome.... but what the hell is with that wig?! It distracted me from the start.

I know it's only a TV movie, but was he really in need of the wig this early in his career?

He looked like he had plenty of hair in Dead Calm from the same year. Maybe that was just a better wig πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Yeah, but Zane played the murderer Kenneth Bianchi. Bianchi had stupid hair too.

Now it makes sense! Thanks.

It's tough to NOT miss the days where gritty TV movies like this were a staple of network television

No, his hair was actually thinning quite a bit in Dead Calm. I guess they thought he neeed a wig to more closely resemble the real Bianchi.

Zane was almost completely bald by his mid thirties.
