A lot of reviewers are saying they cannot see Richard Thomas as the music outlaw Hank Williams JR. When this movie came out a friend could not get over "John Boy" playing the part. Well these people evidently had not seen pictures or videos of Hank Jr before his accident when he had short hair, no cowboy hat, no dark glasses, and no beard. Thomas was the PERFECT choice to play Hank Jr in Hank's early wimpy looking years. Great movie.
