Taylor Kitsch

Taylor Kitsch (born April 8, 1981) is a Canadian actor and model. Kitsch is currently appearing in the NBC series Friday Night Lights as football player Tim Riggins. In February 2008, he signed on to play Gambit in the X-Men franchise spinoff X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now in post-production, it is slated for a May 2009 release. Of the fan-favorite character of Gambit, Kitsch states "I knew of him, but I didn't know the following he had. I'm sure I'm still going to be exposed to that. I love the character, I love the powers, and I love what they did with him. I didn't know that much, but in my experience, it was a blessing to go in and create my take on him. I'm excited for it, to say the least."
