The crowd and Thornton’s fellow cast members (including Demi Moore, Ali Larter, and Michael Peña) roared. The moment was in keeping with Thornton’s persona but also his starring role in Taylor Sheridan’s new series, set in the contemporary Texas oil fields.

Billy Bob Thornton enjoyed learning more about the oil industry for his role in the television series “Landman” as Tommy Norris, a crisis executive for an oil company in West Texas.

Billy Bob Thornton hopes viewers watch his new Paramount+ series "Landman" without an agenda, as it tells the story of the Texas oil business in the 2000s with compelling characters.

Billy Bob Thornton poses on the red carpet at Landman Premiere with his 6th wife Connie Angland. The happy couple both were in black with Billy in several layers and Connie in a sleek floor-length gown.
