A role that he would reprise four years later in Back to the Future II , not without having previously gone through the anxiety box with Critters in 1986 and especially Calme Blanc by Phillip Noyce in 1989, in which he played the worrying passenger taken in by the couple Nicole Kidman – Sam Neill .

His imposing physique carries the actor towards rather muscular roles. Military in Memphis Belle by Michael Caton-Jones in 1990 and in Sniper by Luis Llosa in 1993, Billy Zane participated in the western Tombstone alongside Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer the same year, then moved on to romantic comedy in 1994 with Only you by Norman Jewison .
