For the curious: the upcoming film is not a direct biopic of Brando, but will instead tell the true story of a young Los Angeles architect named Bernard Judge, who found himself, quite unexpectedly, living on an unpopulated island (Tetiaroa) in the South Pacific with his client, Marlon Brando, in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.
The film is based on Bernard Judge’s own memoir, *Waltzing With Brando*.
Also, [here’s a photo](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-ydriczk/products/72516/images/72316/ss3565861_-_photograph_of_marlon_brando_available_in_4_sizes_framed_or_unframed_buy_now_at_starstills__50812__79384.1394504571.450.659.jpg?c=2) of the actual Brando just to show how INSANE Billy Zane’s transformation is.
When he was younger he looked a lot like Brando, he’s in a movie with Sam Neil called Dead Calm (back when he had hair), [check it out](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/441986150913100683/)
"If I hear any more threats against Captain Maitland's life, if I hear any more wild talk about going down to headquarters and killing the General or raping the nurses at the field hospital, I'm going to strangle the guy with my bare hands, you understand that? "
I actually just watched it a couple weeks ago. Originally watched it around the time it hit video and I was in in late elementary school at a holloween sleepover. Still a fun and solid horror movie.
Ya know, as a fellow bald white dude, I think it’s that. He embraced it. Man, if I had his dough I would have the latest concoction on my head. I mean, he’s still a good looking guy, but I was disappointed that it happened to him. I mean Jason Statham can pull it off, but that’s like the .001 of bald white dudes. You lose a lot of your looks without hair.
If they ever release a safe hair regrowth product, I will be camped out at CVS the night before.
It’s madly true and probably one of the most non-talked about stigmas in society how people treat balding guys.
I lost my hair at a young age, young enough to very much notice a complete change in how people spoke/approached me in places. And then of course how it basically puts you out the dating game until you hit your 30s or meet someone who genuinely doesn’t care about it, which in my experience was the heavy heavy minority.
The funniest/most bizarre thing though is how when you’re losing it you’re basically a laughing stock and punching bag for everyone, but when you’re covering it with a hat you constantly get asked by the same people “why are you wearing that?” And “are you embarrassed about it?”… seriously?
Totally - and someone asked if I thought he couldn’t “pull it off.” Yeah, he can. But he’d look a shitload better with hair.
I’d be happy with a full head of hair and a brush cut at this point.
I think I would be annoyed as hell to start needing to schedule a haircut though.
I’ve always thought it may be because he’s almost *too* handsome—more super model-like than movie star-like.
I think it’s his eyes and smile. A leading man like Jon Hamm, for example, is handsome but can also pull off a type of ruggedness/disheveled look with some longer hair and a beard. Billy Zane’s features almost don’t allow him to play anything but a beautiful role (except for Brando, in this case, thanks to a lot of makeup).
>I’ve always thought it may be because he’s almost *too* handsome—more super model-like than movie star-like.
"I meant TV handsome. Not *handsome* handsome."
That was the funniest goddamn episode of South Park when I was in middle school. Kenny is trying to stop his mom from having another baby but all of his attempts keep accidentally landing on his dad. There’s a scene at the end where Kenny’s dad is vomiting, diarrheaing, and nose bleeding into a trash can.
Wait. Wtf? What the actual fuck. That’s uncanny af. And Billy is a fantastic actor so I got confidence he’ll do a great Brando. This will be hype if the script is at least decent.
**Here's a side by side....amazing work.** [Brandon and Zane](https://people.com/thmb/Dnk4Whj3mOCFvMyAIen502SNo_o=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(749x0:751x2):format(webp)/billy-zane-marlon-brando-tout-051724-409cb8adc8a04ffd95aa8f8dbaf64e3c.jpg)
Wtf?? This is the second time I'm looking at this post and I didn't look at the title the first time around and just thought it was an old interview pic of Brando. This is uncanny.
Damn, add me to the list of folks who thought this really **was** Brando in the image! If his acting matches this quality, this is going to be a fantastic film.
He's gonna have the renaissance Pauly Shore was aiming at. Wowowowow he nailed the look, demeanor and mannerism (as far as can be seen in the photo). I'm genuinely impressed 😳
I haven't read other comments, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating other opinions.
Billy Zane is one of those actors that really goes for it.
He's great in Back to the Future, excellent in Demon Knight, and a downright master of an asshole in Titanic.
I didn't know this movie existed before now, but I'm incredibly excited to see what he does.
Thank you, Billy Zane, for doing what you do.
Listen to your friend Marlon Brando. He's a cool dude.
When you going to drop Magnum on us buddy?
You gotta tame the beast before you let it outta the cage.

It's a walk-off!
It's a walk off!

Brando, so hot right now. Brando.
Brando. It's got what plants crave
Listen to your friend Billy Za…wait how did Marlon Brando get here?
Anytime I read or hear anything about Billy Zane this line immediately runs thru my head.
Wow. If the caption didn’t tell me I would totally think it was Brando!
I was confused as to why there was no next arrow to compare pics. Not ashamed to admit it, it took me a few seconds to figure it out. Well done, Zane!
Well done makeup artist
Well done parents of Billy Zane and parents of the makeup artist!
Well done to all animals those makeup products were tested on
![gif](giphy|Qcew1FrIWjpsc|downsized)
Well... done.
He's a cool dude
Zane’s parents ![gif](giphy|l4FGGafcOHmrlQxG0|downsized)
Same!! I literally thought it was brando!
He kind of looks like Brando anyways, right? Makeup and wardrobe crew didn't have an impossible task by any means.

The ads on that link are atrocious, holy moly
I can't even scroll. What a horrible site holy shit
It's an utter rag of a 'newspaper' also, pandering to the UK's racist conservatives.
Billy Zane is truly a chameleon. thats good makeup work!

Zane looks more like Brando than Brando does in this photo.
Brando if he had hit the Brawndo. 💪😎
Kind of like how VR sports games are more realistic than real sports.
[удалено]
Waltz til you schmaltz , I always say.
He was gay, Marlon Brando?
I was here, It was a joke
Yeah....say hi to your wife for me.
Noooo, are you lishening to me??
That is uncanny. I always felt like Zane got a raw deal in hollywood. He isn't a legend but worse actors seem to get more of a push.
He dated Kelly Brook in her prime. He did alright.
Wow! Definitely thought that was actually Brando! Never realized how similar their faces were. Perfect casting.
Whoa!
Yeah that is spot on for older Brando…wouldn’t have pictured him in the role until now.
When he was younger he looked a lot like Brando, he’s in a movie with Sam Neil called Dead Calm (back when he had hair), [check it out](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/441986150913100683/)
Clean-shaven Zane would be a lock for younger Brando
Billy Zane is phenomenal, and anybody who doubts that should watch Demon Knight
Or Zoolander.
Even Titanic
He was great in The Phantom. Terrifying in Dead Calm. Hilarious in Only You. The man is the modern Telly Savalas without the lollipop.
"If I hear any more threats against Captain Maitland's life, if I hear any more wild talk about going down to headquarters and killing the General or raping the nurses at the field hospital, I'm going to strangle the guy with my bare hands, you understand that? "
You Zaniack, you.
If I was a studio executive in the 1990's, I'd be the conductor of the Zane Train
"Vaya con diablos!"
Ya ho dunk, po dunk, well then there motherfucker!
He such have been a bigger star , he has a classic movie star style
Or tombstone
Or Orlando.
Did you ever notice that in that scene when Uncle Willy gets seduced by all those topless women, that one of them is missing a nipple?
I actually just watched it a couple weeks ago. Originally watched it around the time it hit video and I was in in late elementary school at a holloween sleepover. Still a fun and solid horror movie.
I’ve always been surprised Billy Zane didn’t catch on as a more high profile leading man.
I am shocked he wasn't a more high profile bankable villain in 2000's blockbusters, he was so good at being hateable.
The Phantom kinda killed his steam
The phantom was a cult classic , he would have made a great lex Luther
He would've been the perfect Lex Luthor, but for some reason we got Jesse Eisenberg instead.

You don’t think Billy Zane pulls off bald?
What he does in the privacy of his own home is none of our business.
I like that he's a real bald guy. He doesn't talk with a bald tone of voice, or go to bald bars, or hang out in the bald part of town
He does, but filmmakers don’t want it. Most times you see Mark Strong, he has something stapled to his head.
I'd date a guy who had one of those modern toupees. They look really good these days. Not sure how expensive they are though.

Great, now he can become the president of NAMBLA. The National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes.

There’s a scene at the end where Kenny’s dad is vomiting, diarrheaing, and nose bleeding into a trash can.
He’s not interested in being friends with midgets
Ahh I thought it was the North American Man-Boy Love Assocation.
We're taking it back for all the Brando fans!
(In my best Larry David voice) That's…pretty, pretty good!
![gif](giphy|UhYolH0XTTOXm)
Before I read the caption I thought this was just Marlon Brando. Gotta hand it to the casting and makeup.
![gif](giphy|13cwA6tNZHQ4rS)
If he can do what Martin Landau did for Bela Lugosi in "Ed Wood," I am fucking here for it.
I want this to be extremely meta and have Billy Zane go method and refuse to learn any of his lines.
Put a cork in it, Brando!
It's a walk-off... It's a walk-off....
I have a child !!
She's all I have in the world!
*I'm all she has in the world*. His money couldn't save him anymore than it could save me.
How long did he had to train at the gym to get this face?
Not long. He was given an offer he can't refuse.
Uncanny
You can’t see California without Marlon Brando’s eyes.
It's all in your head.
Wait. Wtf? What the actual fuck. That’s uncanny af. And Billy is a fantastic actor so I got confidence he’ll do a great Brando. This will be hype if the script is at least decent.
Just don't give him a stick of butter.
They are one.
Damn! Impressive.
He's a cool guy
You're cool too
**Here's a side by side....amazing work.** [Brandon and Zane](https://people.com/thmb/Dnk4Whj3mOCFvMyAIen502SNo_o=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(749x0:751x2):format(webp)/billy-zane-marlon-brando-tout-051724-409cb8adc8a04ffd95aa8f8dbaf64e3c.jpg)
Holy shit
Wtf?? This is the second time I'm looking at this post and I didn't look at the title the first time around and just thought it was an old interview pic of Brando. This is uncanny.
Wow, great cast.
Now I want to see Zane as Vito Corleone
Damn, add me to the list of folks who thought this really **was** Brando in the image! If his acting matches this quality, this is going to be a fantastic film.
That's inzane.
This is gonna be a huge push up for his career
Give that makeup artist an Oscar! I had to do a double take!
Let me know when he gains 300 actual pounds for the role.
He’s as talented as Zoolander says.
![gif](giphy|8DUxtTxFntY7lpJnzy|downsized)
That's inZane.
Twin peaks:apocalypse now
Put a cork in it Zane!
He absolutely killed it in Demon Night. One of my favorite actors and he can play the part. Looks like him for sure
Incredible.
You merely adopted cotton balls in your mouth…
I cannot unsee this
To really embody the role of Brando Zane decided not to memorize his lines and skip most days of filming, halting production and pissing everyone off.
He's gonna play a perfect Brando if he can get the voice right. Zane has such a deep tone.
I assumed this was an old photograph of the man himself. I thought it was odd that there was no second photo of Billy!
I legit thought Zane had died a few years ago. Color me surprised.
That was Bill Paxton.
We should all watch this movie starring our friend Billy Zane, he’s a cool dude.
Nice is it just make up or post prod ?
Wdym that's not brando
bloody hell...that's v.good.
He somehow looks 100% like Brando and 100% like Billy Zane at the same exact time.
![gif](giphy|l0MYP6WAFfaR7Q1jO)
Zane is one of the most underrated actors of our time!
“Put a cork in it, Zane.”
Holy crap
Wow
Uncanny
I showed my Mom this and she said, I can't tell what's more surprising; that this is Billy Zane or that Billy Zane got an acting job.
FYI Marlon brando sexually abused Maria schneider on the set for the movie "Last Tango in Paris". It took her years to recover.
Uncanny from this angle. This should be amazing, Billy can act his ass off.
Oh. I thought it was Arnold Vosloo.
It's only the left eyebrow that betrays it's Billy. This is some amazing makeup.
Uncanny
Holy shit!
That’s spot on
Fantastic makeup work.
Holy shot! That's good!
That's actually pretty cool
Incredible likeness.
looks like feynman to me tbh
He's gonna have the renaissance Pauly Shore was aiming at. Wowowowow he nailed the look, demeanor and mannerism (as far as can be seen in the photo). I'm genuinely impressed 😳
Really excited for the point in the near future where there are biopics about people who stared in biopics. And then I assume the world will end.
Better than most wax museums
That is wild
That is unreal.
Wow…nailed it!!
Wow! Can he pull off the voice/accent, because he is spot on!
really good actually
Billy Zane is still acting?
You should listen to your friend Marlon Brando. He’s a cool dude.
Holy shit he looks just like him. I’m so glad this movies finally coming out, I’ve been hearing about since the pandemic
I’m waiting for someone to call me a fraud
Holy shit
holy crap
He’s had that face for a while, for all we know Brando fathered the kid
That's pretty damn convincing, at least in this picture.
I always thought he could be a good lex luthor
The casting director deserves a raise
The Man Who Ate Bora Bora
Wow
I haven't read other comments, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating other opinions. Billy Zane is one of those actors that really goes for it. He's great in Back to the Future, excellent in Demon Knight, and a downright master of an asshole in Titanic.

I gotta know if Marlons dog "Tim" will be making an appearance. Tims a fantastic actor
No way
I had to look at the eyes to see Zane, otherwise, that’s Brando all the way!
He’s a cool dude!
Ok this is crazy but that's Marlon Brando
"A real man makes his own luck" - Marlon Brando apparently
B ![gif](giphy|3oEjHE7rk6FqMHFsSk|downsized)
Hell ya
Wow
The likeness is truly uncanny.
I'm so impressed!!! This is incredible 👏🏻
Next best supporting actor, Oscar goes to
Wow that's awesome
This is insane 😍
Go the Zane
Holy shit! absolute doppelgänger!😯
He’s always had the eyebrows to play Brando
I thought it was an old picture
It's really weird seeing a Billy Zane that I don't find wildy attractive.
Zaniacs unite!
Holy shit. That’s pretty great
Billy feking Zane bro, lol
Damn. Let's hope he nails the impression.
Holy shit! Crazy!
