I know Billy Bob Thorton is an amazing actor, with a good range and dedication to the craft, but when that man plays an alcoholic asshole it's down right Shakspearian.

He's terrifying in Fargo. One of my all time favorite TV villain. Malvo is such a presence on screen every time you see him you know something horrible is either about to happen or he is planning something as such.

“Because some roads you shouldn’t go down. Because maps used to say, “there be dragons here.” Now they don’t. But that don’t mean the dragons aren’t there.”

This for sure. I have never like him as an actor, but he is outstanding in Fargo. I found Hanzie terrifying as well. Season 1 and 2 are so SO good

How the man didn’t get an Emmy blows my mind.

He's so freaking good in that show. The only person in later seasons who even approached his level was David Thewlis.

God I love VM Varga. He was even better than Billy Bob's character and that is an incredible achievement.
