Charismatic and uniquely talented, Thornton has established himself as one of the most sought-after filmmakers of his generation. The 1996 release of the critically acclaimed and phenomenally popular feature film Sling Blade, which he starred in and directed from a script he wrote, firmly secured Thornton's status as a preeminent filmmaker. For his efforts, he was honored with both an Academy Award� nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay and an Academy Award� nomination for Best Actor. The film was produced by The Shooting Gallery, was released by Miramax and in addition to Thornton, starred Robert Duvall, J.T. Walsh, Dwight Yokam and John Ritter.

In addition, he has been featured in such films as The Winner for director Alex Cox, Paramount Pictures' Indecent Proposal, directed by Adrian Lyne, Deadman for director Jim Jarmusch for Miramax and Tombstone, directed by George Cosmatos for Buena Vista Pictures.
