Billy Bob Thornton

It's so wild that he's such a sweet man, such a great actor.

But when he and I do scenes together, it's literally like you and I talking right now.

Right.

It's that natural.

We essentially talk to each other when they cut.

It's no different than the scene we just did.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah, that scene was, I mean, it became huge.

I mean, it was all over the internet, that scene.

And I mean, when I run into an oil guy, wherever it is, I mean, you know, mainly Texas, but wherever I am, they always bring that scene up and thank me and, you know, thanks for showing people what this is.

And, you know, I do get questions, you know, obviously because of the nature of the show.

People try to politicize everything.

And the fact of the matter is, is that Taylor with that show is not taking a side.

He's just saying, here's a look behind the curtain at how this works.

Yeah.

And it's about how are the people who work in that industry, whether you're on the suit side or you're out there in the fields.

And if you're the family of like I have the family in the show.

Uh, it's just, this is how it works and this is how it affects the people who work in it.

This is how dangerous it is.
