Before Billy Bob Thornton began his acting career, he was a musician in two bands in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He then pursued a solo music career in the early 2000s, releasing four albums between the years of 2001 and 2007.

While Thornton currently has a leading role on the hit show Landman, which was renewed for a third season in December 2025, he’s also returning to his music roots in a surprising career move. “I’ve been writing a lot of country songs,” He told KSBY News. “For some reason, all of a sudden.”
