When Billy Zane is acting like a Bartender....


Is he acting/sound like Hunter S Thompson on purpose?

If you listen to way Johnny Depp portrays Thompson in Fear and Loathing in LV, they sound exactly the same.

I never thought of that before, I don't know if it was on purpose but yeah I can see some similarity there. That was a hilarious scene IMO, the scenes where The Collector was trying to persuade the people to help him were the best.

Zane did a lot of different voices in that movie - to suit the characters he was trying ot seduce into doing what he wanted.

An earlier poster mentioned a resemblance to Beetlejuice in one scene and that occurred to me too. I actually rewatched Fear & Loathing in LV and I agree with the original poster.

Another great Zane moment was when he offered CCH her severed arm on a silver platter and she raised her stump at him and he asked "is that a yes?" or something like that and she answered "No, I'm giving you the finger."
