Billy Zane made a stunning transformation into late film actor Marlon Brando. The 58-year-old appeared as a spitting image of Brando’s Don Vito Corleone from Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 mob drama, “The Godfather.” Zane is playing Brando, who died in 2004 at age 80, in the upcoming biopic, “Waltzing with Brando.”

Election Tuesday brought the first trailer for Waltzing with Brando, the indie biopic in which Titanic‘s Billy Zane transforms into the Godfather star.
