Billy Zane is an American actor and director. He is perhaps best recognized for his role as Caledon Hockley in the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic and as The Phantom in the eponymous 1996 film based upon the comic book superhero. As of 2006, Zane has appeared in over 50 films and numerous TV-series.

Zane's first screen role was in Back to the Future (1985) playing Biff Tannen's friend Match. He landed the role as a fluke by appearing nonchalant, dressed in a T-shirt. Zane later reprised the role for the 1989 sequel, Back to the Future II. He gained prominence starring in the thriller Dead Calm opposite Nicole Kidman. Zane is best known for playing Caledon Hockley in the 1997 movie blockbuster Titanic, The Phantom and most recently, a cameo in the 2001 comedy Zoolander as himself.

He is a singer and can occasionally be seen in various Broadway shows, like "Chicago", where he played lawyer Billy Flynn.

Zane also had a recurring role in the popular television series Charmed in which he played poetry loving ex-demon Drake. He was voted as the favorite guest character by the show's fans, beating people like Julian McMahon.
