Billy Bob Thornton Applauds Jerry Jones’ ‘Landman’ Cameo as Authentic, Emotional Turn

Thornton said Jones excelled by speaking from personal experience, casting the NFL owner in a more vulnerable light.

Overview

  • Thornton praised Jones on ESPN’s Manningcast, saying non-actors can be “better than actors” when they simply tell their own story.
  • Jones appeared as himself in Season 1, Episode 9 that aired January 5, 2025, delivering a monologue centered on family and legacy.
  • His remarks included, “I thought I was doing it for them, but the one that got the most out of it was me.”
  • The scene, performed opposite Jon Hamm, was widely described as a contrast to Jones’ usual hard-edged public image.
  • Landman, created by Taylor Sheridan, is set to return on Paramount with Season 2 premiering November 16.
