Billy Bob Thornton doesn’t mind playing a bad guy, but there are some lines he will draw.
比利．鮑勃．松頓不介意飾演壞蛋，但他也有一些底線。
In an interview on the Bingeworthy podcast, the acclaimed actor talked about turning down roles as a villain in two notable films
這位備受讚譽的演員在Bingeworthy播客的訪問中，論及婉拒在2部知名電影中飾演反派角色。
Thornton said he was approached to play Norman Osborn, aka Green Goblin, in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man.” Years later, he was up for the role of the villain in “Mission: Impossible 3.”
松頓表示，他曾被找上在山姆．萊米的《蜘蛛人》中，飾演又名「綠惡魔」的諾曼．奧斯朋。數年後，他考慮在《不可能的任務3》中飾演反派。
“I don’t have much interest in those kinds of roles,” he said. “With the Green Goblin, I didn’t feel like getting up at 4 a.m. for five or six hours of makeup… And with ‘Mission: Impossible III,’ I didn’t want to be the guy trying to kill Tom Cruise. If you’re the bad guy in a big movie like that, audiences remember it forever.”
「我對這類角色沒有太大興趣，」他說。「（不演）綠惡魔是（因為）我不想為了5、6個小時的梳化而得在清晨4點起床…至於（不拍）《不可能的任務3》是我不想成為那個試圖殺掉湯姆．克魯斯的傢伙。你若在這種大片演反派，會被觀眾記一輩子」。
