Can never get - how that does NOT look like Billy Bob Thorton -

the body / slump crap is easy/trivial --- facially ?? --- maybe he put on weight for the role?

I saw Billy Bob interviewed on "The Actor's Studio". James Lipton asked him to do Karl. Billy contorted his face until he looked just like him!

I was going to say the same thing. Billy Bob just jutted out his jaw and talked like Karl.It is on Youtube. Not hard to find.

I noticed Billy Bob also played the soda jerk that sold Karl the french fries when he first got out. That character was easily identifiable as Billy Bob. I think there must have been prosthetics on Karl.
edit: I read on another site the soda jerk was Jim Jarmusch. He looks more like Thorton than Karl does.

Re: Can never get - how that does NOT look like Billy Bob Thorton -

^Funny you should post that. When I first watched this movie many years ago, I thought the soda jerk guy might be Billy Bob's brother, or some other relative, due to the resemblance, (but later learned, like you, that it was actually writer/director Jim Jarmusch).
