There's a good chance this first item might be the one that jogs your memory about Kitsch, who played a key role on NBC's much-loved but little-watched classic about a small-town football team (okay, two small-town football teams) in West Texas and the teens and adults whose lives are intertwined with them. On a series that served as a launchpad for loads of young actors, accelerating the careers of Michael B. Jordan, Jesse Plemons, Jurnee Smollett, and Adrianne Palicki, among others, Kitsch was arguably its biggest breakout star (other than perhaps Connie Britton).
Kitsch, a former hockey player, played Tim Riggins, the hard-running, hard-drinking fullback of the Dillon Panthers. Riggins was, in many ways, the heart of the show, the place where good intentions –– both his and other people's –– meet the complicated mess of real-world desire and upbringing. (For instance, sneaking around with your best friend's girlfriend after he's paralyzed in a freak football accident.)
Kitsch admitted that "Friday Night Lights" was a great early gig for him because of his comfort in improvising — something the cast did a lot of on that show — and a natural affinity for the character that made it easy to go to the places the scripts required Riggins to go. "If I had nothing going on in the brain, I could just shut down," he told The Off Camera Show in a 2018 interview, "And it would be Riggins." This isn't to say there wasn't some learning curve. "I didn't even know where Texas was," he joked, referring to the time when he got the call that he had landed the part.
