he's a Golden Globe winner in an Academy
Award nominee and he's returning to
Amazon Prime to reprise his role as
Billy McBride who's pulled into another
Goliath case when his friend's son is
arrested for a double murder take a look
this is the gun that Detective Roman
found at the scene of crime and this is
the security footage now you see that
flash of chrome it's not the same gun
that's just the way the light is hitting
the metal you know centered two
contradictory pieces of evidence in the
trial but look zoomed in like that the
footage is too grainy to be conclusive
now I'm sure that I can find an expert
witness to testify that that is in fact
the same value let me save you the
trouble that's the gun in the video
no I'm intrigued Dilawar more with the
clip joining us now live from Los
Angeles is Billy Bob Thornton it's good
to see you and talk to you again you too
how's it going great
Billy McBride isn't a typical lawyer
doesn't go about things done in typical
fashion if he did it would be a boring
show what do you like about this
character coloring outside the lines
why does think I like his sense of
justice and fairness and he knows that
you know what the law is is not always
what's actually fair and I kind of feel
that way myself
so and plus the fact that he is just a
guy you know he his methods you know
doing things are a little bit different
and a lot of the show is about how he
can't outrun his own demons and you know
one still has to try to remain current
and his in his business you know and I
certainly uh you know know that
personally so there are a lot of things
about the guy that you know aren't that
different from me so I can't even dress
the címon life septa guy does so it's a
pretty easy to go to work I like it very
much it looks like a lot of fun I the
kind of
Hitchcockian didn't season two twilight
zone ish yeah well season one had a lot
more of the courtroom and this season
I'm out sort of in the field a little
bit more a little more detective work
than before I mean there are scenes that
even remind me of the of like vertigo or
something like that so if you put Paul
Newman in the verdict Paul Newman and
Harper a David Lynch movie and a
Hitchcock movie all together it's kind
of the way this new season is the first
season was about corporations in the
military-industrial complex and that was
the Goliath and this year the Goliath is
you know more politics mixed with drug
cartels and rich guys and all kind of
stuff so it's it's a pretty intriguing
show I'm really happy to be a part of it
yeah the sinister underbelly of the City
of Angels coming into play how does it
feel to go from the peak indie cinema
era of the 90s to about you couldn't
have imagined that you would join a TV
show on something called Amazon Prime in
2017 and get to a player character like
this during peak TV or the second golden
era of television yeah it's really
actually where independent film lives
now you know the independent film
business is pretty much gone these days
and they make a few but they usually
don't get big distributors and the
studio's make mainly event movies so
what I do now with this and what I did
with Fargo it's like you feel like
you're making an eight hour independent
film which is right down my alley and
this is where actors that want to do
good work are going now excellent I'm
told that that is our time thank you so
much it's good to speak with you again
sure if you run into Mitch Albom tell
him hey I will certainly do that I'll
pass along the message season 2 of
Goliath begins streaming on Amazon Prime
video Friday so it's it's theoretically
possible I could run into
Java sometime soon if I do remind me to
say that Billy Bob said how
