Bill Bob Thornton is one of the most successful actors, directors and screenwriters in Hollywood. Determined to work from an early age, he left the university to pursue a career in self-employment. However, things could not have been easier as they seemed to be for the novice artist who worked as a waiter, food processor, telemarketer and overseas farmer between gigs. He started with a few supporting roles and after that he switched to writing movie theaters. It was in the mid-1990s that his work saw a complete transformation with the movie, ‘Sling Blade’, in which he worked as a director-writer-writer. The movie met with important information as well as his unique approach to the capabilities and unique screen. He was also awarded the prestigious Academy Award. Since then, his acting career has risen to the top with many hits films. The success of his film career inspired him to change his favorite way of becoming a singer and songwriter. He has released four albums so far and is a member of the blues rock band.
