Did Billy Bob use prosthetic makeup for the role of Karl, or was he just sticking out his chin?


He looks NOTHING at all like the standard Billy-Bob we have come to know since then in other films. I would never have recognized him if I had just seen a clip that had not identification of him in it. I'm trying to figure out if he wore special effects makeup or just achieved the look by jutting his lower jaw.

Nope - check out Billy Bob in The Actor's Studio:

It's almost freaky how much he can morph his face and look like two separate people.
