Billy Zane is set for an appearance on Legends of Tomorrow.
The Titanic star will play P.T. Barnum on the CW series alongside another actor from James Cameron’s blockbuster, Victor Garber.
Executive producer Phil Klemperer told EW: “Obviously, we couldn’t resist putting Victor Garber and Billy Zane back on screen for the first time since the Titanic.
“But I’ve wanted to bring Billy onto LEGENDS every since I saw him in a friend’s comedy pilot. I’m not sure that people know how funny Billy is, although we cast him as P.T. Barnum because we knew that he would be able to find the soul beneath the larger-than-life showman.
“Sure, in one sense, he’s the villain of our story, but in another, he’s just a guy who wants to put on a good show. Anyone who works in TV can relate to that, right?! Anyway, Billy seemed like the perfect guy to get that duality.”
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns to screens this August.
