|
Billy Bob Thornton (born August 4, 1955, in Hot Springs, Arkansas) is an American actor. He has married five times and his most recent ex-wife is actress Angelina Jolie. He first came to semi-prominence as a cast member on the NBC sitcom Hearts Afire with John Ritter and Markie Post. His role as the villain in One False Move brought him to the attention of critics. He also had small roles in films like Indecent Proposal, On Deadly Ground, and Tombstone. In 1996, he wrote, directed, and starred in an independent film titled Sling Blade. Sling Blade garnered international acclaim, won Thornton an Academy Award for his screenplay, and made him a star. Thornton has also begun an ancillary career as a recording artist, in a rock & roll style known as "Americana." He has released two CD's: Private Rodeo and The Edge of the World. Thornton is known for various idiosyncratic behaviors, well-documented in interviews with the actor. Among these is a phobia for antique furniture.
