One of the biggest disappointments this decade is one Taylor Kitsch, pictured above, who failed to break through in a series of big Hollywood blockbusters.
Even though films like Battleship and John Carter failed to make the cut, he was absolutely fantastic on “Friday Night Lights” (seriously guys, watch it on Netflix). I’ve been a huge fan of his ever since, and am losing my mind right now in hearing that he’s in talks to be join Colin Farrell in the second season of HBO’s “True Detective.” TheWrap first reported the news.
Garrett Hedlund (Tron), pictured below, who appears to keep missing out on major roles, has also been rumored to be in contention for “True Detective” but Kitsch is strongly believed to have an edge on the coveted role.
The anthology format of “True Detective” — each season will reboot with new settings and characters — has allowed the network to reach out to big names who might not otherwise want to commit to multiple seasons of a series.
Season 1 of “True Detective,” which took place in Louisiana with a narrative that fluctuated between the mid-’90s and the present, earned Emmy nominations yesterday for Best Drama and Lead Actor in a Drama for stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, neither of whom will return for Season 2.
