Billy Bob Thornton sat down recently for a detailed discussion of the FX series "Fargo," which just wrapped up its 10-episode run.

Thornton, who plays hitman Lorne Malvo in the project, talked at length about the challenges of following up on the acclaimed 1996 Coen brothers film of the same name — and about topics including what it's like to play a character without a conscience and whether there's still a difference between TV and movies.

TVWeek Open Mic writer Hillary Atkin took part in the discussion and presents Thornton's insightful comments in an in-depth Q&A, which you can read by clicking here.
