* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Zane's stock in Hollywood took a sharp nosedive after his starring role in the 2006 Turkish film ''Kurtlar Vadisi: Irak'' (known overseas as "Valley of the Wolves: Iraq"), which was released during the peak of the patriotic fervor surrounding the (then) recent start of the UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror. Other American actors took part in the film, such as Creator/GaryBusey, but as Zane was the biggest star involved, he received the biggest backlash. He was immediately dropped from several high profile roles and lost his role as Ansem in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series and as of 2021 his career is yet to recover, taking mostly bit parts in low-budget films.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: One possible reason for Billy Zane being replaced in the subsequent Kingdom Hearts games might've been due to an extremely controversial movie Billy Zane took part in which depicted Americans as monsters which apparently got him blacklisted.
