So he isn’t an actor lol
I’ve heard this for years, probably starting with that radio show interview the director mentions. It’s crazy that there are so few actors that just kind of pop on the screen, that they have to keep reusing the horrible people just because the have some kind of necessary, hard to replicate cinematic charisma.
Billy Bob was fantastic in Fargo S1, but now all I think is having to deal with him on a series schedule. Yikes.
God if only Jack Nicholson could have worked it out to sign on for that role
I wonder which director called to offer moral support. Billy Bob has worked with Sam Raimi and the Cohens multiple times, so I guess he can sometimes be decent or they know how to handle him. Based on Bruce Campbell’s famous Sam Raimi/Gene Hackman story, Raimi knows how to deal with jerks.
It’s sucks that he’s a prick, but it’s an excellent performance.
Harold Ramis worked with Bill Murray during one of Murray’s divorces. And he couldn’t believe how big of a prick Billy Bob is. That’s amazing. Billy Bob really is the character from Tombstone.
Billy Bobs infamous CBC interview is probably the worst celeb interview I’ve ever seen. Guy is beyond insane. Yet Lorne Malvo is iconic.
