Best known for his critically acclaimed NBC role as troubled Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights and Gambit in the X-men Origins:Wolverine Movie. Taylor Kitsch not only has the acting chops but comes with a six pack (or an 8 as well)

Taylor Kitsch was born on April 8 1981 (He's an Aries) in Kelowna,B.C. Canada & raised in Vancouver. Kitsch has 2 Older Bros & 2 younger 1/2 sisters.

Taylor played hockey in the (Canadian) BCHL for the Langley Hornets & was being scouted by the NHL before a knee injury ended his career when he was 20! In an interview on Canucks Tv, he said that "The Highest level he has completed in Hockey was LIAM Lethbridge"

Taylor then moved to New York in 2002 and signed with modeling agency IMG. Taylor became a regular face for famous clothing lines, like Abercrombie & Fitch as well as Diesel. While Taylor was living in New York, he found time to become a certified personal trainer and nutritionist. After two years, he signed with production company, Untitled Entertainment. While staying in New York, Kitsch also became certified as a nutritionist and personal trainer.

Taylor co-stared alongside Steven Streight in The Covenant, along with, (minor roles by) Toby Hemingway and Chace Crawford (who played Nate Archibald on the CW show Gossip Girl). In The Covenant, fans got to know who Taylor really is, not to mention see a lot more of Taylor or as I call him the Canadian Adonis" very fit in a Speedo and definitely not awkward looking at all. (can there be a law made he's the only person legally aloud to wear one?) . Taylor became more recognized since acting in the movie.

Taylor has gone from blink & you miss him parts like that of the one in Snakes on a plane, to key roles like football player Tim Riggins in the NBC series Friday Night Lights, and Comic Superhero Gambit in X-men Origins-Wolverine. In The Bang Bang Club he plays a critical role as Carter a photo journalist. in 2012 he plays John Carter in the not so fan favorite book adaptation (as the leading man in) Disney's version of Edgar Rice Burroughs book series John Carter of Mars. Co-starred alongside Alexander Skarsgard as his brother in Battleship in which he plays Naval Commander Alex Hopper, that's described as wildly spirited, & a great seaman but a lousy politician, alongside Alex Skarsgard (True Blood) and then there's Savages and that great butt shot to start the movie! But I do love him and and Arron Taylor-Johnson in it.

So 2012 should be a blowout year

I think this will be the first time Kitsch will play (what seems like) the bad guy in a movie.

I can't wait to see this to the point I am going to see it in the theater (I'm going to do a double dose watch this and It being I didn't get to see a few other movies I had planned to in the theater.)

Plays : Paul Woodrough

a War vet with PTSD currently with a California highway patrol Motorcycle officer ^{_{(and so reminds me of the uniforms from the chow CHIPS)}} running from a scandal that never really happened. He's demoted to some desk job or something. When he discovers a dead body while out for a ride on his bike, he Colin Farrell & Rachel McAdams team up to uncover the criminal.

Paul is shaking up with some girl, has a crap mother and is just trying to be a good man.

I watched this season only because Colin & Taylor were in it. Somehow I got lost along the way and have no idea if they really even solved it to be honest!

Besides Colin Farrell Rachel McAdams and Vince Vaughn also star in the season.

Savages Cast Discussion

Oliver Stone and Taylor Kitsch on New Drug Film, 'Savages'

Character Name: LT. Alex Hopper

Appears In : Battleship (2012)

live action adaptation of HASBRO's board game;

Described as an 'epic-alien-story' peter Berg has a little to say about it:

"The aliens, called The Regents, came here looking for something,

but they are not wholly evil bent on world domination.

We did nothing to provoke them, but they still have an ecological

interest in our world. Also they fire ballistics, not ray guns and will be

half-CG half-"man in a suit" technology. But sadly, their ship is damaged

somehow and that becomes another part of the plot." So there's some

good guys & some strange bad-guys, so its not just an action movie

but a sci-fy angel as well.

Inspiration for Character/backstory:

60's board game battleship & nothing more!

Kitsch's character apparently worships the water his sibling sails on, so we predict that they will either butt heads over the proper way to serve on the sea or Skarsgard will die horribly at the hands of the aquatic alien enemy, spurring our hero to action and vengeance.

But that's just a guess"

Taylor Kitsch's Awards & Honors

Year Award Category/Recipient(s) Result

2008 Teen Choice award Choice Tv Actor: Dramafor Friday Night Lilghts (2006) Nominated

2007 Teen Choice Awards Choice Tv: BreakoutFriday Night Lights (2006) Nominated

2010 Emmy Nominee (here's more)

Friday Night Lights is blessed with the incredible talent of Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton. Both leading a wonderfully talented young cast from the very beginning.

One of the amazing parts about the series is seeing that young cast grow into their own. While many of them were admittedly raw and new to the business when Friday Night Lights first began four years ago. The young cast became true actors, growing with their characters.

One of the biggest improvements has been Taylor Kitsch. His performance in season four has been a revelation. Gone are the days of his character Tim Riggins bedding every girl in school. Now we have the Tim Riggins who'll do anything and everything for the woman he loves and the only family he's got. A guy who dreams of a good, simple life in his hometown.

Taylor Kitsch has grown into a natural. His performance is subtle, the emotion on the cuff of his sleeve. Easily dropping one-liners in one scene and pouring out his heart in the next.

While it takes the entire season of 13 episodes to fully appreciate Kitsch's performance, the season finale is probably the best showcase of what he can do and how far he's come. It's been a wild ride for Tim Riggins the last four years, but it was great to watch, thanks in large part to Taylor Kitsch.

I would MURDER to Play Gambit again

Yeah I played it pretty darn hard seriously, as many Canadians do. I started playing when I was 3 or 4 years old, had the backyard pond and everything. I was so devastated. -on his hockey career ended by injury

4.

"Video Games and Computers have become babysitters for kids. Parents have to lead by example. I have two little sisters (i hear in their teens) and I help my mom raise them. You just try to give them knowledge piece by piece and tell them, [by eating well and being active,] you're going to feel allot better about yourself,you're going to be able to do better at school, you're going to have more energy in sports. 'i think its about self-improvement, as well- giving kids choices. It starts with coaches, teachers and especially parents by living healthy themselves."

6.(interviewer) Where would you like to see your character go in season 2? Taylor: I'd like to be #1 on the Call sheet. Watch out buddy I'm coming" (to Peter Berg?)

Is everything about Riggs written, or are some of those trademark Riggins-isms improvised?

Fifty percent of that is me doing it. This year, his saying is "No regrets, let's make some memories" - that's all me. All the stuff on the field, 90 percent of it comes from my take on him and how I want people to see him. Usually, when you feel it's improvised, it's a piece of the character I've created. That's the freedom we have and that's why everyone can relate and it feels so real.

Riggins isn't gonna be your boyfriend. You know what Riggins is? He's that weekend that you'll never forget.

that's just flattering that people can think he's that fun where you could watch him for a full hour.

I saw that Scott's a really big comic book fan. Was he pretty envious when you got the role of Gambit in Wolverine?

I know he read for it. He's always been like, "Kitsch, you're so perfect for Gambit." Ironically enough, he texted me last night after he saw the trailer and he just congratulated me. He's more pumped than me to see it. (see link above)

Talking about Gambit & Wolverine origin Movie (09) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3KMwdtMqGo & anotherhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JICug_Vuoy0&feature...

"Isn't that just a huge piece of him? With that first line, without even making eye contact, having that hat low?" Kitsch beamed. "Even though he knows - and he f-ckin' knows, man - that the stakes are through the roof. He's still that cool and and collected, and doesn't even make eye contact [with Wolverine]. That was a fun thing to play." (talking about Gambit's first scene When Logan asks Remy whether he's Gambit, the character responds: "Do I owe you money?" When told he doesn't, he adds: "Then Remy LeBeau I am!"

"I called home the other day and my mom said my little sister Haley just about kicked down the door, running in, shouting that Gambit is on a Slurpee cup! She was so proud of me!" laughs Kitsch, who has two younger sisters, as well as two thirty something brothers Taylor Made Article

"I'm known as one of the guys that throws a lot of curveballs to other actors and improvs a hell of a lot. I'll go way over the top. Like the episode ("Seeing Other People" during Season 2), where Saracen (Zach Gilford) was losing his virginity, I was talking as (my character) Riggins on the field, telling him I have an econo-sized bucket of lube in my garage, if he wants it. Or I'll go up to Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) all the time and start whining about some STD that I have as Riggins, and that (the) cream that he gave me made it worse, and I need to go have a shower."

"50% of what I saw, is just made up, Improv" -Outside magazine june 2009

'A great day for me is taking a long ride on my motorcycle, running, working out, hanging out with friends. ...'I partied in my late teens and early 20s, so I'm not missing out on much if I stay in. I'd much rather do these activities than get drunk.'

It's hard not to envy Tim Riggins, the not-so-elegantly wasted Dillon Panthers Football star on NBC's Friday Night Lights. "I live vicariously through the cat, He gets the gal, he gets the winning touchdown, he does what he wants. he just reacts on instincts, which aren't the best ones at times. [but] allot of people are scared to take a risk, and Riggs just does it. I think that's commendable. most of the time" -On Tim Riggins being #100 in Entertainment Weekly's 'The 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 years List

It was so good because it was so raw. ...I remember doing that "Texas forever" speech like it was yesterday. I had time to work on it, and it just really encompassed Riggins, and his kind of contentedness at that moment - from TV Guide's

Friday Night Lights Comes to An End: Producers and Cast Remember Building Dillon

I think it's so boring to watch that partier, that loud, obnoxious guy who drinks too much. He'd get boring. The actors that I admire are the ones who do so much by saying so little, and on this show, we had the power to try things. With Riggs, I just felt his lack of words was intrinsic. ... He's been jaded so many times, it's just a means of energy-saving, saving yourself from being jaded even more.- on going with is own instincts with his Friday Night Lights Character Tim Riggings

If we were going to get picked up or not, I just love that we never truly waivered. We never tried to become some soapy, mainstream thing to get ratings. - on the show getting Spectacular reviews but subpar viewership

I think they didn't how to market it. It was tough. There's not a specific tone to it where they could just label it something easy to sell. - on How NBC marketed the show (to boys & football fans)

Quotes About Taylor Kitsch

Quote:"Taylor is so amazing," Collins said. "We went to Pixar and saw some of the workups of some of the fighting that we have to do. I was like, 'Oh my god, there's just no guy better for the job. He's so athletic and wonderful and such a great actor and so positive.'"

Who Said it: Lynn Collins

Quote: Taylor has taken his character who could just seem like this football dummy & has imbued this guy this emotional life underneath that is just so riveting to watch & so pointed.

Who said it: Jason Katims (writer for Friday Night Lights)

Quote: His Canadian accent was so OVERWHELMING there wasn't way (in audible on s.2 DVD due to crowd cheers) we had to Grind the Canadian out of him. (Taylor comes back w/ a good ol' Canadian 'Well anyHoo')

Who said it: Peter Berg (writer? creator? Friday Night lights

Quote: "There's no question that I think Gambit's going to play well," said Katz. "Put Taylor in a trench coat and give him a staff, and watch out. He's a tough kid, and he did a lot of his own stuff - and he looked like a million bucks doing it."

Who said it: Jeff Katz

http://splashpage.mtv.com/2008/12/11/deadpool-and-...

Quote:"We like to say around here that Ryan(Phillippe) is the anchor of the film - the Harvey Keitel of the piece - while Taylor is like a young Robert De Niro in Mean Streets. He's the snap, crackle and pop. "from the article Taylor made

Who said it: Steven Silver

Quote: I can say it, he's sexy, right?"

- The biggest reaction during the Wolverine teaser at the summer ComicCon convention wasn't to Wolverine but the character Gambit. "He raised the roof. I was a tad jealous!"

Character back story/resides:

Gambit's place of birth was in or around New Orleans. Remy considers

himself a Cajun with his roots firmly grounded in the Big Easy where he

spent his youth, and he speaks with a Cajun accent. As shown in Gambit #1,

Gambit was stolen as a baby by the Thieves Guild for someone called the

Antiquary but was later taken and hid from the Antiquary by Jean-Luc LeBeau

among a group of young street urchins, the unwanted offspring of assassins

and thieves, under the Dickensianly-named Fagin.

Gambit Guild

**Reference for Gambit Back Story)*** Abandoned at birth due to his burning red eyes, the child who would one day become Remy LeBeau was kidnapped from his hospital ward by members of the New Orleans Thieves' Guild who referred to the child as "le diable blanc" - the white devil. They believed he was the child that had been prophesied to unite the warring Guilds. Soon after, Remy was placed in the care of a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery.

Later, when he was around ten years old, Remy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then-patriarch of the Thieves' Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy in off the streets and adopted him into his own family.

Remy wandered the world as he plied his skills as a master thief, aided by his mutant power to charge objects with explosive energy. He employed playing cards he charged with kinetic energy as his trademark weapon.

Eventually, Remy encountered Storm, a member of the outlaw team of mutant adventurers known as the X-Men. Storm had been transformed into an amnesiac child who had turned to theft as a means to survive. Later, when the X-Men's founder Professor Charles Xavier returned from a long period of traveling in outer space, Storm sponsored Remy's admission into the X-Men. Remy soon fell in love with his fellow X-Man, Rogue, blessed and cursed with the ability to absorb other mutants' thoughts and abilities through skin-on-skin contact.

Remy served for a time as patriarch of the Thieves' Guild in his father's stead, as well as leading one of two teams of X-Men.

Here's the Rest of the story)

some of Gambit's Bio from Marvel

& this off of

Gadgets and weapons

Gambit customarily wears a suit of highly articulated light body armor and his weapon of choice is a telescopic metal staff. He is extensively trained in martial arts, particularly French kick-boxing or savate, which coupled with his Thieves Guild training and natural mutant abilities, makes him a superhuman combatant. He is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, utilizing street-fighting techniques and acrobatics.

Inspiration for character: Marvel Comics' X-men series

Personality type: Taylor describes Gambit as "Cocky, like a young Wolverine"

Signature look: 'Flapjack' hat, wears a bit of purple (tones colors), always w/ Playing cards & staff also

Red irises on black sclera

Gambit's eyes have been this way since birth. Gambit's eyes are also known to glow and sparkle in conjunction with the use of his mutant powers and his moods. (from Gambit Guild)

Fun facts/trivia:

The Canadian hunk, 28, plays a mutant with attitude in the film. But, he says, he had to fake it - for a while, anyway. "When I first got there [I was] nervous," Kitsch says. "And when I ... met [Jackman], it was really great." To get psyched up to play a New Orleans thief with a gift for killer card-throwing, Kitsch turned on his iPod and listened to the bluesy John Lee Hooker "all the time," he says.

"We were in a fight scene," Jackman said, and Taylor was using his staff, while Jackman got too aggressive while doing the scene 'Gambit' goes to hit 'Wolverine' & wolverine stops him with the claws "and Taylor reeled back quickly but directors didn't call, 'Cut!' (lol no pun intended) I looked down at my claws and there were only two left. I'm thinking Where's the third I looked over at Taylor and it was sticking straight out of his hand. He was just looking at it. Taylor was like "whoa dude, something I said?" so He pulls it out , wipes the blood on his jeans & goes 'Let's Go', "

"Those were some good memories," Taylor joked. "He stabbed me and I bled - a lot."

Taylor kitsch puts muscle to good use in Wolverine Taylor Kitsch was way ahead of his "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" co-stars in one way: He didn't have to go through a lengthy exercise regimen to build the strength to play superhero Gambit..So, Kitsch spent his prep time playing cards.

When asked if he uses the card tricks in his personal life (w/ friends & family) he says.. "I know how to do them, but I don't do them w/ my friends. I'm going to learn the real good stuff that magicians know. I trained with a magician for the shoot, & I think I've started to loosen him up to give me some of the real stuff." It's a pretty cool thing to know. Shuffling & cutting the deck with one hand..(which his expert tried to teach herself...& think she may need a helping hand) dealing with one hand.

If I learned anything about life, its this: 'Always Play the Hand you're Dealt. My Name is Gambit...and I Play for keeps"

miss me?

Do I owe you money?

Logan, you need to trust me. Now let me go.

{Tv spot} If I learned anything about life, it's this: always play the hand your dealt. My name is Gambit... and

My appologies if I have repeated videos, let me know if there's doubles & so on.

Taylor quotes continued

I struggled quite a bit in New York. I don't know what it was, but there was something there that kept me from quitting. Maybe I'm stubborn. Maybe it's the challenge. I just loved studying at the time. I loved the exploratory part of it. It was very therapeutic for me for what I was dealing with personally. I love being surrounded by people [who] are going to make you better-you're going to grow through that experience. That's a real high for me.

Even though Phillippe is the movie's biggest star - and is reasonably convincing as a guy who loves the adrenaline rush of his work, even as it puts him face-to-face with inhumane horrors - Kitsch gives the strongest performance of the group: As Carter begins to unravel, his eyes look haunted and quizzical - you get the sense that he's trying to reckon with the queasy moral questions his work presents.
