Before achieving fame, the 'Friday Night Lights' star lived in New York City's subway, homeless.

Before gaining popularity on shows like "Friday Night Lights" and "True Detective," Taylor Kitsch struggled.

The actor, who relocated from Canada to New York City in 2002 to pursue modeling and acting, admitted to sleeping on the subway in an interview with People magazine.

In 2017, he told US Weekly that the blue train from downtown to 182nd would change at night and take longer, with options of A, C, or E.

After meeting his talent manager, Kitsch, who had been homeless for less than a month, said things improved.

"He said to People, "She asked, 'What do you want to do?' I replied, 'Character pieces,' and she responded, 'Okay, I'll give it a try.'""

"Kitsch stated, "My ultimate desire has always been to immerse myself in various personas, rather than seeking fame, fortune, or the spotlight.""

In 2006, Kitsch got a pivotal role as Tim Riggins on "Friday Night Lights," which changed his life.

"Riggins had a magnetic appeal that drew people to him, and it positively impacted his life."

Although he has achieved success, Kitsch, who is currently starring in the Netflix miniseries "American Primeval," has always been unenthusiastic about the glamour and glitz of Hollywood.

"Kitsch, who relocated to Montana in 2023, shared with The Hollywood Reporter that year that she had a later start in business but was able to find clarity about her identity and goals. She explained that being in Los Angeles was not fulfilling for her and that she enjoys the peace and tranquility of Montana. Kitsch believes that the state represents hope and a chance to work towards one's needs."

Kitsch, who was drawn to Bozeman, Montana, because of his passion for wildlife photography, has been concentrating on establishing a facility for veterans and those in recovery when he's not working.

Kitsch expressed excitement about the base camp's potential to empower individuals, stating, "I'm really excited about this being a base camp for people to empower themselves." Kitsch's sister had struggled with addiction a year prior.

"Kitsch revealed to People that she had no idea about sober escapes until she took a crash course with her sister. She was amazed by the idea of providing people with an opportunity to reconnect in nature and slow down their lives."
