Billy Bob Thornton Says Working For Demi Moore Will Challenge His ‘Landman’ Character In Season 2 — Contenders TV
deadline.comBilly Bob Thornton Zoomed into Deadline Contenders from Texas where he’s filming Season 2 of Landman. His character, Tommy Norris, is now president of the oil company Cami Miller (Demi Moore) owns.
Not only is this a daunting new position for Tommy, but he’ll have to teach Cami the oil business. “Since she doesn’t really know the oil business that well, I’m there with her to show her how these poeple operate,” Thornton said. “You can know something intellectually but what are the street smarts behind it?
I know how to deal with these people she’s going to have to deal with. I just tell her, ‘Look, some of these deals you can take but when it gets really weird and difficult, let me know because I know these guys.’” This only compounds the drama Tommy has with his own family, including ex-wife Angela (Ali Larter) and children, drug cartels and more. “He goes from having a job that’s really difficult and a job that’s very dangeorus to having two,” Thornton said. “Now I’m kind of executive and a landman and a family man in the midst of this tornado.
It makes for some pretty interesting stuff I have to say.” RELATED: Deadline Studio At Contenders Television 2025: Brandon Sklenar, Christina Ricci, Elisabeth Moss, Ellen Pompeo, Bella Ramsey & More It won’t change Tommy’s character, though, or his fashion sense. “I think the only difference in my wardrobe this year is every now and then I’ll throw a sportjacket over my jeans and crummy button up shirt,” Thornton joked.
