Billy Bobs Tickets Information
Billy Bob Thornton
Billy Bob Thornton’s fame is a product of his talents as an actor, writer and director, as evidenced in hit films like Sling Blade, Armageddon and Bad Santa. However, he’s also notoriously famous for his phobia towards antique furniture and his short-lived marriage to Angelina Jolie with whom he adopted a child from Cambodia. This relationship was much-publicized for the lockets Jolie and Thornton wore around their necks that each contained a drop of the other’s blood.
William Robert Thornton was born on August 4, 1955, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and grew up in the close by backwoods community of Alpine in a cabin with neither electricity nor indoor plumbing. From the age of 8 he wanted to be a musician, a dream he pursued all through school and beyond, playing in a variety of bands, before deciding to pursue a career in acting. He had few friends during this time; a notable exception was Tom Epperson, who later became Thornton's trusted colleague and screenwriting partner.
In the late 1980s, Thornton settled in Los Angeles to pursue his career as an actor and struggled for several years until he landed a role in the Fox series The Outsiders, which began his extraordinary career. In 1991 he had a small role in For the Boys, but in 1992 he received critical acclaim for his performance in One False Move, which he co-wrote with Epperson. In the nineties Billy Bob appeared in a string of films including Indecent Proposal, On Deadly Ground, Bound By Honor, Grey Knight, Dead Man, and Tombstone.
His biggest success to date came with Sling Blade, which he wrote and directed. It was a story based on stage work and a short he had done in the past. The film, about a mentally- challenged murderer, won him an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and a nomination as Best Actor.
In 2000, an early script which he and Tom Epperson wrote together was made into The Gift which starred Cate Blanchett, Hilary Swank, Keanu Reeves, Katie Holmes and Giovanni Ribisi. In 2001, he co-starred with Halle Berry in Monster’s Ball, a complex drama about love, racism, family, and personal loss. Both she and Thornton won Best Actor and Actress awards from the National Board of Review. That same year, Thornton starred as an unassuming barber tried for murder in The Man Who Wasn’t There. Two years later, he played a nasty, unforgettable alcoholic thief with part-time work as a mall Santa Claus in Bad Santa. The hilariously sick role earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy. In 2007, Thornton starred in the comedy Mr. Woodcock along with Sean William Scott and Susan Sarandon, in which Thornton plays a sadistic gym teacher.
Although he has been an actor for almost 30 years, he has been a singer and songwriter even longer. His success in Hollywood has allowed him to pursue his primary passion to the fullest, and in 2001 he released his first CD, Private Radio, and has put out another CD every two years since-- The Edge of the World (2003), Hobo (2005), and 2007’s Beautiful Door. Thornton was the singer of a blues rock band named Tres Hombres and bears a tattoo with the band's name on it.
With Oscar nominations and wins recognizing his talent as both an actor and a director, and about 50 other nominations and awards from organizations such as the Writers Guild, the Screen Actors Guild and the American Film Institute, Thornton’s various accomplishments in film are beyond reproach and his lasting fame is assured.
