>DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will stage a Titanic reunion in Season Three, as actor Billy Zane has been cast as legendary showman P.T. Barnum in an episode of the CW drama.
>Of course, reuniting the two actors was only part of the reason for casting Zane. Klemmer admitted he’s been eager to cast Zane since he saw the actor’s comedic chops in a television pilot produced by his friend. As he explained to EW, the producers thought Zane would be able to “find the soul” beneath the legendary showman.
>“Truth is, Barnum never said ‘there’s a sucker born every minute,'” Klemmer said. “He was less a conman, more the father of modern advertising. A guy who made things ‘go viral’ before that was a thing. 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.”
