Billy Bob Makes Good Out Of A ‘Simple Plan’

He first appeared in Carl Franklin’s “One False Move” as an immensely scary, drug dealing psychopath. Since then, Billy Bob Thornton has appeared in a range of films from “Slingblade” (for which he won a Best Original Screenplay Oscar) to “Primary Colors.” Now, in “A Simple Plan,” he virtually steals the show as the dullard who ends up knowing more about the inherent dangers of greed than his far more educated brother.
