Despite the show’s strong performance and popularity, the actor admitted that he’s unsure whether there will be a second season, leaving fans in suspense.
Landman, which delves into the high-stakes world of the Texas oil industry, wrapped up its first season with a cliffhanger that left many viewers wanting more. The finale saw Tommy’s violent clash with the cartel, but with several unresolved plotlines, it’s clear that the story isn’t over.

He also mentioned that working with directorTaylor Sheridanwas one of the highlights of the experience.

Billy Bob Thornton explains why he said no to playing villains in big movies
Billy Bob Thornton is no stranger to playing morally complex characters in films, but when it comes to big-budget blockbusters, he’s made it clear that he’s not interested in taking on iconic villain roles. On the same subject, the actor opened up about why he turned down some major parts in highly successful movies, such as the Green Goblin inSpider-Manand arms dealer Owen Davian inMission: Impossible III.
In an interview on thePlaylist’s Bingeworthypodcast,Thornton shared his reasoning for passing on these roles. He added:
I don’t have much interest in those kinds of roles. With Mission: Impossible III, I didn’t want to be the guy trying to kill Tom Cruise. If you’re the bad guy in a big movie like that, audiences remember it forever. I prefer to keep things looser and less predictable.
He explained that the idea of being typecast as a villain didn’t appeal to him, as it could limit his future roles and the kind of acting challenges he wanted to pursue. As fate would have it, the role of Owen Davian went to Philip Seymour Hoffman, who delivered a chilling performance that became one of the most memorable villains in theMission: Impossible franchise.
Not only this, but Thornton also turned down the role of Green Goblin inSpider-Man,but for a much more practical reason. He added,“With the Green Goblin, I didn’t feel like getting up at 4 a.m. for five or six hours of makeup.”The grueling hours spent in the makeup chair simply weren’t for him. Instead, Willem Dafoe took on the role, giving the Green Goblin a performance that is still considered iconic today.
