American actor Billy was already known for his role in The Phantom in the 1996 movie of the same name when he played Rose’s rich, stuck-up fiancé in Titanic.

He played treasure hunter Brock and accompanied Cameron on his 2003 dive to the real shipwreck of the Titanic for the documentary Ghost of the Abyss. The actor was married to Terre Brigham, the mother of his oldest daughter, when he starred in Titanic, but a year later they divorced, after he met second wife Paula Marshall on the set of the 1997 movie That Old Feeling. Her sobbing sibling was picked out of the crowd to audition for the part of the “crying girl” and a casting agent asked Alexandrea if she would be interested in another role. Kate - who was nominated for a Best Actress gong for playing Rose - went on to star in a string of highly acclaimed movies including The Holiday, Iris and The Reader, which won her an Oscar in 2008. Reece was a child model of five when he was given the option of a small role in Titanic or a petrol advert. She told Cosmopolitan she stumbled into the role when her mum took her and her little sister to the auditions. The British actor, who also starred in The Omen and Mary Poppins Returns, passed away from a cancer-related illness at the age of 80.
