‘Friday Night Lights’ star was homeless, sleeping in New York City subway before finding fame

Taylor Kitsch landed his breakout role as Tim Riggins on ‘Friday Night Lights’ in 2006

Years before finding fame on hit shows such as “Friday Night Lights” and “True Detective,” Taylor Kitsch was down on his luck. 

“I was literally sleeping on the subway,” the actor, who moved from Canada to New York City to pursue modeling and acting in 2002, told People magazine. 

“It was a blue train from downtown all the way up to 182nd and at night they’d change, they’d take longer, A, C or E,” he told US Weekly in 2017.
