Taylor Kitsch

Taylor Kitsch is my favorite case study in career resilience. As Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights he gave one of television's great wounded-masculinity performances, all silence and bruised loyalty. Then Hollywood tried to make him a franchise face with John Carter and Battleship, and when those gambles failed, the blame landed unfairly on him. What I respect is the response: he retreated into tough, grounded material like Lone Survivor and Savages and rebuilt himself as a character actor with real weight. The hockey-player past from Kelowna shows in everything he does — physical, uncomplaining, team-first. He earned my trust the hard way.
