Oscar winner (and Hot Springs native) Billy Bob Thornton, up for a Best Actor Emmy for his recent role in the FX miniseries Fargo, told the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in January, “When I was coming up, if you went to television from film it meant something was wrong. Now it’s the opposite. Now it has a cachet, and actors are clamoring to get on television because it’s a place we can do the things we were doing in movies.”
