He has another brother, John David Thornton. His brother Jimmy Don (April 1958 – October 1988) wrote a number of songs Thornton recorded two of them ("Island Avenue" and "Emily") on his solo albums. Thornton was born on August 4, 1955, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, the son of Virginia Roberta ( née Faulkner died July 29, 2017), a self-proclaimed psychic, and William Raymond "Billy Ray" Thornton (November 1929 – August 1974), a high school history teacher and basketball coach.
The attention of the media has proven unavoidable in certain cases, his marriage to Angelina Jolie being a notable example. Thornton has been vocal about his distaste for celebrity culture, choosing to keep his life out of the public eye. He has released four solo albums and is the vocalist of the blues rock band The Boxmasters. In addition to film work, Thornton began a career as a singer-songwriter. He has also been nominated for an Emmy Award, four Golden Globes, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards. Thornton has received the President's Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, a Special Achievement Award from the National Board of Review, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After Sling Blade, he directed several other films, including Daddy and Them (2001), All the Pretty Horses (2000), and Jayne Mansfield's Car (2012). Thornton has written a variety of films, usually set in the Southern United States and mainly co-written with Tom Epperson, including A Family Thing (1996) and The Gift (2000).
