Billy Bob Thornton is Davy Crockett on, off set

Billy Bob Thornton grew up wanting to be Davy Crockett.
But then again, who didn’t?

“The way we grew up Davy Crockett was sort of, in a way more of a cartoon character,” he said, “a larger than life bear-hunter who wore a coonskin hat – perfect for kids.”

History of the Alamo: From its beginning to its devasting defeat

The Alamo is world renown as the symbol of heroic courage in the face of death and the struggle against oppression. Before it was launched into its present place in history, it was a simple Spanish mission, run by missionaries and visited by many significant people throughout its time.
