FNL was a lucky break that came early
Kitsch's start in Hollywood might seem auspicious to his cheering spectators, but he certainly struggled before earning the part of Tim Riggins for NBC's cult favorite and critical darling Friday Night Lights. As he detailed in an interview with Adweek, he'd been kicked out of his former home in New York, turned to digging ditches in Barbados for some start-up funding, and lived out of his car (which had a trash bag covering a broken window, no less) while auditioning for gigs in Los Angeles.
By the time he read for a role in 2006's Snakes on a Plane, Kitsch was in dire straits, but once he locked down that gig, things started to look up for the then-quarter centurion. Not only did he nab supporting roles in other movies, including John Tucker Must Die, The Covenant, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but he also earned the part of the feisty fullback in Friday Night Lights and became one of the most beloved characters of all five seasons. Kitsch's ability to navigate the playing fields of both small screen work and movie sets indicated that he might be just as equipped to deal with a bigger spotlight than what that hometown football arena had already provided him.
