Taylor Kitsch
Taylor Kitsch is a native of British Columbia, Canada. In his early youth Kitsch was an avid hockey player, but had to give up the sport after a knee injury. In 2002 he moved to New York, where he studied acting, and soon started to land movie roles. In 2006 he had roles both in the internet-propelled Snakes on a Plane and the critically panned The Covenant. In 2012, he starred in John Carter.
Kitsch says he is able to relate to the character of Tim Riggins based on his own personal experiences. "My father is out of my life, more or less", he revealed in an interview, "so I discover stuff that maybe I wasn't even dealing with as a person." Also his background as a young and promising athlete helped him connect with the role. Nevertheless, he admits to differ from his character at least in his relations with the opposite sex; "...I didn't have as many girls at my fingertips. I don't know many guys who do!"

Famous quotes containing the words taylor and/or kitsch:
“Some men are like musical glasses; to produce their finest tones, you must keep them wet.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Kitsch is the daily art of our time, as the vase or the hymn was for earlier generations. For the sensibility it has that arbitrariness and importance which works take on when they are no longer noticeable elements of the environment. In America kitsch is Nature. The Rocky Mountains have resembled fake art for a century.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
