When Billy Bob Thornton recently joined the cast of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s new series, 1883, it was a reunion for Tim and Billy Bob. The two worked together on the 2004 movie, Friday Night Lights.

Tim said of Billy Bob’s appearance in 1883 as Jim Courtright, “Billy Bob was so fantastic.” McGraw credits Billy Bob with giving him some of the best acting advice he’s ever received. He said, “He was like the angel on my shoulder. The best advice he ever gave me is, if you think you’re not doing enough, you’re probably still doing too much.”
