Canuck heartthrob Taylor Kitsch in Studio Q

www.cbc.ca/Q
Canadian model and actor Taylor Kitsch rose to modest stardom as hard-living high school football player Tim Riggins on the TV show Friday Night Lights. Now as the star of several tent-pole studio films, he's making his way to the Hollywood A-list. He joins Jian in Studio Q to talk about his humble beginnings after hockey, and his thoughts on Hollywood betting half a billion dollars on him.

No doubt that Taylor Kitsch is a great actor and a wonderful person, his role in many movies, from the first ones to Normal Heart, Lone Survivor, Savages, he demostrates that his outstanding. In one of the interviews the said that he admires "Stan", which in fact is the inventor of modern theater, the famous Russian Stanislavsky. Funny indeed he was a friend of one of my great uncles in Saint Petersburg, watching him on televison or in movies, is possible to understand why he loves "Stan". Taylor you are and you will be one of the leading actors from the first part of the XXI Century, my best wishes, you are awsome.and a wonderful guy. God bless you.

I love it. "I was living on the subway mate!" Canadians are so similiar to us Brits it's not funny! Loving his sense of humour and self-effacing nature - so like our own. I could listen to Taylor for hours on end. Brilliant chap.

[@ashleyblum2894]

Watched them all, including Lone and The Normal Heart. He's a brilliant actor and oh so dreamy

[@R0B5e55or001]

Should've continued his legacy as Gambit instead of recasting him with Tatum

[@Sheilamaizi]

Good interview with Kitsch. I like what he said about making the film his own. Not looking at past productions, but just seeing Stanton's vision. Good job Taylor!

[@judioregan4210]

Sheila meri - yep. Love this guy. So down to earth and so not into the celebrity crap. And I am so tired of hearing people rubbish John Carter. Great movie, labour of love for all involved. Just poorly marketed. It was doomed from the get-go in that respect. But Taylor just keeps plugging away, onwards and upwards. His raw talent as an actor grows with every part he plays. Still think The Bang Bang Club is his finest moment so far. Brilliant film.

The one character I could never get tired of him being would be Gambit

[@Kristendgraham]

He's one very inspiring guy. I love hearing peoples stories.

[@UzaPch]

The handsome guy with great personality.

[@totsmini3105]

...I wonder if he knows how much he is adored?... How lucky is the world to have this specimen as an entertainer :)

[@DazzleAndFab]

Tim Riggins forever

[@DazzleAndFab]

Everyone needs to watch Friday Night Lights.. THEY WILL GET THE TAYLOR HYPE.

[@jackanaples]

I loved JOHN CARTER and saw it nine times in the theater. Didn't like BATTLESHIP too much, but Kitsch was one of the best things about it easily. He's had some bad luck this year, but it'll turn around. He's a good actor and has some real on screen charisma. People forget, but Bruce Willis had a string of flops back in the 1980s and seemed certain to be a flash in the pan after his success on the tv series MOONLIGHTING... and then he made DIE HARD, which woke everybody up.

[@razcataz]

He'll always be Tim to me.

[@LR859]

Taylor is a very nice person and a good actor.. Show him some respect :)

[@Tara20052]

[@DazzleAndFab]

Tim.Riggins.

[@jrfraukar]

I´ve watched FNL and The Bang Bang Club and i have to say in these two movies his acting was really good. And by the way, George Clooney and Johnny Depp had their flops, too. Every actor has here and there a financial flop. Taylor Kitsch had it unfortunately in a row. That´s it.

[@mitchqqqqqq]

he sounds like Chris Pine
