A year out from a season of Fargo that reminded people why they put up with all his Tom Petty-comparing nonsense, Billy Bob Thornton has been attached to David E. Kelley’s new Amazon show Trial. The actor will play a hangdog, down-on-his-luck Billy Bob Thornton-type named Billy McBride, a lawyer who fell into a bottle after losing a case that resulted in the murder of an innocent child. When an opportunity for redemption presents itself, McBride grabs at it with both hands, hopefully keeping the man portraying him from being able to pick up a microphone or drumsticks for the duration of the role. Kevin Costner was previously in talks for the part, but dropped out a few weeks ago, presumably realizing that he could never look as downtrodden and rumpled on his worst day as Billy Bob Thornton does in his Sunday suit.
