13) Billy Bob Thornton - Sling Blade
Trending
Billy Bob Thornton has revealed that his Oscar-winning performance in Sling Blade was a calculated career play for moving forward and financial security. He wrote, directed, and starred in this very film, playing the hauntingly brilliant character Karl Childers. Though the role proved crucial to defining his career, Thornton has made claims of seeking early proof of value in Hollywood and securing himself a financially secure way forward. That is a very rare case of a paycheck-driven project becoming an impervious legacy.
