Billy Bob Thornton Didn’t Want To Play “Bad Guy” In ‘Spider-Man’ & ‘Mission: Impossible III’
Although Billy Bob Thornton has served some memorable performances, he's never quite embraced his villain era.
The Oscar winner recently explained why he turned down “the bad guy” roles in Spider-Man(2002) and Mission: Impossible III(2006), noting he likes to be “looser and less predictable” in his work. Willem Dafoe ultimately played the Norman Osborn (aka the Green Goblin) in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, while Philip Seymour Hoffman ended up in the MI3 role of arms dealer Owen Davian. Thornton later won a Golden Globe for his performance as villainous hitman Lorne Malvo in Season 1 of FX ‘s Fargo.
