Billy Bob Thornton does an impression of his character Karl Childers, from the film “Sling Blade” (1996), during an interview with James Lipton in “Inside the Actors Studio“.

The film itself is marvelous, a must-see piece of independent cinema. I highly recommend it! If not for anything else, just to see Billy Bob’s mind-blowing
