Tim riggin12/7/2023 ![]() ![]() His portrayal of Koresh gave viewers a look at a character who was quite different from the one painted by the media at the time. ![]() His innate ability to bring sincerity and charisma to a complex man who believed in unorthodox-and many times unethical-practices helped him create a unique character. It's a good thing Kitsch managed to get over the initial fear. This led to Kitsch needing something of a reset-he needed to completely restructure how he was going to move in Hollywood. Destined to be the next “it actor” in the early 2010s, his biggest films in 2012- John Carter and Battleship-both massively flopped in the box office, with the former costing Disney nearly $200 million in losses. Kitsch, despite initial success as the brooding-yet-sexy Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights (a series that grew a cult-like during it's initial run that's only increased since it's conclusion in 2011), has had a bit of a rough road navigating through in the industry. ![]() The role finally helped him prove to audiences just how good an actor he was. Although the role was clearly out of the actor’s previously-established element, Kitsch proved that despite a couple of road blocks, he knew how to tackle a man overlaid with complexities and mystery. With a gaunt appearance, a mullet once described as a “ Kentucky waterfall,” and an affinity for reciting the Scripture from memory, it was almost impossible to recognize the man on the screen as none other than Taylor Kitsch. Within the first five minutes of the miniseries, viewers are introduced to David Koresh, one of the focal characters. The newly-formed Paramount Network put together a show that had elements of a real-life tragedy, religion, and political conversation. I remember watching the miniseries Waco in 2018, back when it first premiered.
