(Community Matters) Taylor Kitsch, who plays Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights, was hanging reading a book at Jo’s on 2nd Street this morning. Not to worry I took the photo quite discretely (without flash). Though, I couldn’t help myself. I did interrupt him and asked if he was an Obama fan and if he’d consider attending a fundraiser in honor of Senator Obama. He was quite nice but shrugged, explaining that he’s Canadian and not involved in our politics.
