Billy Bob is one of my favorite actors

Guess who hired Johnny Depp's stylist?

[thomascoleman]

If that outfit isn't "Hollyweird" then I don't know what is.

[timfranczyk]

Why does no one ask him, “what up with the head sock under your Stretson?”

[HermesTrismegistes]

He should’ve stacked another hat on! Three hats is way cooler than two! 😂

[markalley]

Love his interviews..down to earth, regular guy responses…

[Devastator]

Surprisingly very dam good! Must watch!

[itsasecret]

They are trying to figure out a tactful way of saying "what the hell is with the headgear?"

[SandPond]

Billy Bob is A great actor! Good pick.

[mariner]

Finally, something I can agree with CBS on!

LANDMAN reminds me so much of a job I had in the late 40’s early 50’s working for a gold dredging company. Worked with many of these characters and the boss who was my grandfather had the same sharp tongue as Billy.

His Landman character has a lot of Bad Santa similarities. Nice to see a Sheridan show have some humor in the main character.

[Pozativ]

I loved it when Kurt Russell smacked the shit out of him in Tombstone

[maryhurst]

He’s always looked weird doing these interviews. But doesn’t take away from his being a fine actor who has played some diverse characters.

[trevor]

He’s become the human equivalent of a Claire’s

Landman here…. A landman is not the go between the Mineral owner & guys who get the oil out of the ground. A landman is the person who assists in running & curing title to the mineral & royalty interest owners, & getting leases signed. That’s it. The oil & gas Operator (whole team of people from pumpers, foremen, engineers, ect) gets the petroleum product out of the ground.

[batisteism]

Landman is great. Billy Bob is a snappy dresser and a fine actor.

[HarryHamburger]

On the top of the hat is some space for a sombrero i think-;)

[todoubled]

I like Billy Bob but that hat and scarf on the head get-up looks seriously ridiculous.

[maxlinder]

Is his head bandaged ..??? Did something fall out ???😮.. just my opinion
