Taylor Kitsch (played Tim Riggins)
Hollywood tried really hard to make Kitsch happen but his career never really took off. John Carter and Battleship both bombed at the box office and the second season of True Detective never reached the heights of the first. He recently posted about quarantining in a van. Today is his birthday.
