Taylor Kitsch

Taylor Kitsch plays Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights, the running back inside a Dillon, Texas hour that treats high-school football as civic religion. Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton hold a town's nerves together; Kitsch makes Riggins the ache under the lights — not a poster, a kid who treats the field as a family problem. Naturalistic drama that outlived NBC ratings via a DirecTV rescue.

Sports as structure, character as the real game. On TV Flash he is 2000s craft: the Riggins who photographs as a star and plays as the reason the town still has a boy the lights cannot save on schedule.
