As an actor, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top rocks.
So says Hart Hanson, executive producer of the Fox crime drama "Bones," and he should know: Hanson created a role for the iconic rocker to play four years ago and he keeps bringing him back.
Gibbons returns in the season finale at 8 p.m. EDT Thursday as the father of Angela, a member of the show's quirky crime-solving team. Angela, played by actress Michaela Conlin, is an artist and a free spirit. So it made sense back in Season 1, Hanson says, to give her a freewheeling rock-star dad.
"Billy is a good actor," the producer says. "When the camera is not going, he looks at Michaela, who is an incredibly beautiful woman, the way that a rock star would look at an incredibly beautiful woman. But then we yell 'action' and he has to be fatherly."
And he pulls it off every time.
