      I just (2024) worked with him in a couple of scenes for Landman . Had a few laughs and fun to watch him work. Been a fan of his films since a kid in the 90’s. Glad this finally popped up years later. Thanks!

    Billy's commentary on the death of his brother is part of my survival kit after the death of my precious daughter, Carla. He's authentic and brave. Thanks sir.

    I have to say, I won’t mention names, but I have seen some actors who are amazing on screen, but are sooo boring or hard to listen to being themselves, but THIS man, wow! Both a phenomenal actor and seems like a fun human being, that you could sit and talk to/listen to for days. One of THE BEST, BRAVO! ☺️🌹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    Exceptionally talented artist. Loved the story about him writing short stories when he was a kid. In Sling Blade, he was just devastating. That was early in his career, and he's gone on to a lot more great work. He's funny, too.

    • @alwaysopen7970
      @alwaysopen7970 4 года назад +2

      He's not a true celebrity, which is why you see him in that vein. Celebrities are assholes, for the most part. When they start to expect, believe and take for granted the accolades, they stray from what Billy Bob displayed here. You witnessed a regular guy speak of his memories and experiences of what he does as well as how he got to the point he is now. You may very well know people with the same qualities in your life but the celebrity aspect here made your ears prick up. Everyone has a story worth listening to if you take the time to listen. Everyone.

      Goliath is a modern masterpiece I think. Dennis Quaid is terrifying in it--just one example of the great writing it showcases.

    I'm happy to hear he likes to re-watch The Man Who Wasn't There. Ed Crane is such a real character, who simply believes his voice will never be heard.

    He is real people. I've had the pleasure of speaking with him on several occasions. I fell in love with his talent when I saw Sling Blade. I met him when he was touring with his band the Box Masters.

    • @madroseaustx7386
      @madroseaustx7386 3 года назад +1

      Yes, so did I! I had the pleasure of speaking to him, and I even got to take a picture with him!! I remember, I was trying to take a picture with him, and I was to nervous to take the photo with him and I in the picture. Then he actually took the time, to try and figure out my phone so that he could take the picture. Well, so Billy Bob Thornton took the picture of him and I. It was one of the greatest moments of my life, that I got to meet one of my favorite actors of all time. He was so nice and humble, I was so surprised at how nice he was to me, considering he’s an Academy Award Winning Hollywood Actor. I got to meet him, during his tour with the Box Masters. His acting is incredible and music is awesome.

    I'm just going to do long story short I was on a bus what's a guy who played in a band was Billy Bob Thornton in Malvern... How far is he was just blowing smoke but sure enough it all came full circle and then I was talking to my mom was at the hospital and she said oh oh oh oh I knew that was him I said you know who was what? She said when I was 17 I made out with Billy Bob Thornton before he got famous I knew there was him but I didn't say anything to anybody... I was at the hospital I'm having a bad day but I said you just made my day you made out with Billy

    1:04:46 As Billy Bobs brother John Prine on ''Daddy And Them'' had said in one of his songs ''Donald And Lydia''

    Like sunshine feeding daisies,
    Like the love hidden deep in your heart.

    Enterviewer didn't mention the movie he did called "Leaving Reno".. I thought it was a good and funny movie... I have been to the filming locations for Sling Blade, the barber shop is no longer in business, laundry mat hasn't changed at all..Frank Wheatley's house is also still there, but has new vinyl siding installed but the porch looks the same... The is all in Benton Arkansas.
