Answer: John Travolta

Travolta, born on February 18th, 1954 in Englewood, New Jersey, was cast as Billy Nolan. Billy was Chris' girlfriend and, in one scene, he drove his car and Chris was in the passenger's seat. While they drove, Martha and the Vandellas' hit song "Heat Wave" played on the radio. Chris leaned over and tried to kiss Billy but he told her to not do it and she would not listen. Finally, Billy slapped her and was adamant that she not pull that stunt. Chris and Billy started to make love and Chris told him she hated Carrie White and wanted to get revenge on her. Billy came up with a plan to kill a bunch of pigs and use their blood to splatter it on Carrie at the Prom. After Carrie left the gym, she saw Billy try to run her down but she used her telekinetic powers to flip over the car. Billy and his friends in his car died in the wreck. Travolta had roles in the films "Look Who's Talking", "The General's Daughter", and "Broken Arrow." In 1978, Travolta received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role for the film "Saturday Night Fever", but he lost to Richard Dreyfuss for "The Goodbye Girl". Other Oscar nominees for Best Actor in a Leading Role that year were Woody Allen for "Annie Hall", Richard Burton for "Equus", and Marcello Mastroianni for "A Special Day".
