Billy Zane on Larry Ray Story abuse scenes: 'Actors should get emotional stunt pay'

The "Titanic" star plays Sarah Lawrence 'cult' leader Larry Ray in Lifetime's "Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story.

Then, of course, from a character study standpoint, I'm always interested in the why and what proceeded and what led to this wiring and logic. It was the cycle of trauma, right? Clearly this is a recurring theme in our society. We just see it: bullies were bullied, and rapists were raped, and cult leaders were maybe cult members — even in one's own home without knowing it.

Manuela Sosa, Frankie Warren, Billy Zane, Erin Walsh, and Tedra Rogers in 'Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story'.What's your go-to move or meal when you're trying to put on weight for a role? I worked with a vocal coach on the regional accent and specifics and then the pitch ; I'm much lower register. His was much more nasal and he had a very kind of serious lisp. There were a few features that had to become second nature so I could improvise as him without having to think about every word in turn.

You mentioned your daughters earlier. While Larry preyed on boys, too, most of the students he victimized were girls. Did being a father help you play this role, or did it just make you worry about your daughters more?
