'Friday Night Lights': Where Are They Now?


Interesting that from a show that had so many good-looking young actors, the two people who would go on to the most success after the series ended are the parents, played by Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton. Slideshow HERE.

'Friday Night' Alums, or 'From Dillon to Eternity'


   I was just telling a friend how surprising -- but completely correct -- it was that Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton seem to be having the most success post-"Friday Night Lights." While Hollywood logic would dictate that the plethora of hot young newcomers would go on to bigger and better things -- leaving the 40-something "mom and dad" in the dust -- Chandler (always a TV actor) has suddenly found himself an in-demand feature film actor ("Super 8," "Argo" and four pictures in the can), while Britton had a hit with Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story," before moving to the lead role in "Nashville." (IMDB also lists a slew of upcoming projects for her, including on the big screen.) Taylor Kitsch, the ridiculously sexy Tim Riggins, was Hollywood's obvious pick for the next big thing. But after a string of high-profile disasters -- "John Carter," "Battleship" and "Savages" -- it will be interesting to see if he gets a second fifth chance. Adrianne Palicki's "Lone Star" got cancelled after a couple episodes, and her "Wonder Woman" pilot (thankfully) didn't even get picked up at all. (Next up for her is the big-screen "Red Dawn," about a group of teenagers look to save their town from an invasion of North Korean soldiers, which looks horrendous.) Minka Kelly's "Charlie's Angels' got cancelled after a couple of episodes, as did Zach Gilford's "Off the Map." (I'm not sure if his new show, "The Mob Doctor," is fairing any better.) I have, however, seen that the great Landry (Jesse Plemons)  has a recurring role on "Breaking Bad." And I also saw him in P.T. Anderson's "The Master." And now it's come to my attention that hunky Matt Lauria (above) -- aka Luke Cafferty -- has a recurring role on "Parenthood," a show I gave up on because I was convinced it was going to be cancelled. (Apparently Lauria also played a himbo on an episode of "30 Rock." ) It looks like the "Parenthood" producers are using him wisely as well -- in underwear scenes in the ocean -- while the grown-ups get the real acting jobs!
