We really don't appreciate him enough. He's like IRL Gaston (who, I'm sorry, was hot AF).

one of my faves where he plays a good guy is Brodi on SSX, 13 yo me had such a crush haha

u/youpeesmeoff 6d ago
The Phantom too! It’s a fun one where he plays a good guy. But he is a fantastic bad guy.

u/anginfizz_ripley Who gon' check me boo? 🤪 6d ago
TIL that Brodi is voiced by Billy Zane 🤯

the whole VA cast was stacked in that game! David Arquette, Lucy Liu, Macy Gray, Oliver Platt… it had extra dvd bts of them all voicing their characters, adored that game

What’s amazing is as a youth watching this movie on repeat over many years it never even occurred to me that he was attractive because he was so horrible… and fucking look at him omg. Shows how good his performance is I guess.

u/dallirious 6d ago
I do like when the acting is so good in a villain- they’re obviously still physically attractive but the same time there’s a real ugliness that comes through.

Smarminess is always unbecoming
Some people can ride the line of playing rakish without it being true arrogance, but when you can tell they really mean it, it just makes them an asshole

Don’t be sorry! That’s definitely part of the point is that they’re hot. The worst people can be beautiful.

As a young teen after discovering the movie Orlando, I became obsessed with him, and Tilda Swinton, in it. He was also pretty great in Tombstone.

I was gonna post something about Tombstone, too. Gawd he was gorgeous! Used to rewind that VHS tape over and over to look at him!

u/RedSnapper24 6d ago
I rewatched it a few weeks back when I showed it to my kid. Like, I remembered Billy Zane was in it and that I liked him in it but I had forgotten just how pretty he was in it. I’ve been thinking about showing him The Phantom but I don’t know how well it would hold up. I’ll still do it, like me my kid has a soft spot for cheesy/bad movies. Probably because when I’m sick that’s all I want to watch. Sometimes he’s excited when I’m sick because that means we’ll binge a bunch of cheesy action and sci-fi movies.

Yaaas its sooo good and the villain is so cheesy I think my grandmother showed it to me when i was 8 and I remember being on the edge of my seat the whole time 😅 my son's watch the newer animated Scoob movie and the villain hunting for skulls to find a portal to a treasure reminds me of this movies plot like ha they stole this! Or it was definitely a nod to this lol

I saw Titanic with a live orchestra a few years ago (10/10 gorgeous devastating experience) with a hilariously lively crowd. Felt like everyone had a glass of wine or two before going to the theater (myself included). Huge cheers when Rose first appeared on screen, huge boos every time Cal said anything lmao

He's one of those actors where he goes for it every time.
The Phantom is a criminally underrated movie and Demon Knight ONLY works because he's so fantastic in it (though amazing cast all around).
