Friday Night Lights Cast: Where Are They Now?
2. Connie Britton (Tami Taylor)
Alongside Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton was the beating heart of Friday Night Lights. Expanding on a role she played in the 2004 movie, Britton took the potentially limited role of Mrs Coach and turned Tami Taylor into a hugely inspiring figure, a helping hand to the entirety of Dillon, Texas, and a true pillar of the community.
Britton wasted no time finding another long term project: Nashville, the NBC musical drama she co-starred alongside Hayden Panettiere. Portraying the fading country star allowed the actress to show off her vocal talents, and the subsequent cast albums gave her a small but respectable second career as a singer.
Britton is a repeat collaborator with Ryan Murphy, appearing in two seasons of American Horror Story, as well as a small but key role in the debut season of American Crime Story.
Film roles have been less easy to come by, but small parts in the likes of American Ultra and The To Do List and what sounds like a substantial part in upcoming Mark Wahlberg drama Good Joe Bell cap off a more than respectable career.
