‘Landman’ Star Michelle Randolph On Playing Billy Bob Thornton’s Daughter & Entertaining The Old Folks With Her MILF Mom


'Landman' Star Michelle Randolph On Playing Billy Bob Thornton's Daughter & Entertaining The Old Folks With Her MILF Mom

Talk about being in the right place at the right time: Michelle Randolph was busy playing a Dutton bride-to-be Elizabeth Strafford in the Paramount+ drama 1923 when Creator Taylor Sheridan asked her to audition for Billy Bob Thornton ‘s daughter Ainsley Norris in Landman. That job turned out to be a breakout role for Randolph, who together with Ali Larter as her mom Angela, have provided a welcome amount of levity to an otherwise tense drama about the dangers of pumping oil in West Texas. Here, Randolph explains what it’s like to play a 17-year-old siren with a MILF for a mom and a dad who really doesn’t want to be his daughter’s best friend.
