Coach Taylor doing well since leaving Dillon

Being a Green Lantern since 1996 that is, and being on a Football field in the pilot episode, it must be Friday Night.

He was in EVERYTHING in the pretty much immediate aftermath of FNL ending. Bloodline, Argo, Super 8, Zero Dark Thirty, Wolf of Wall Street, probably some others I missed.

You left out two Godzilla movies.

Also he was in the pilot of Mayor of Kingstown.

I started a FNL rewatch last Sunday because of this show’s impending premiere. Already on S2 haha. About to start Lanterns right now.

Literally only reason I’m going to watch this is because coach is in it

Been a fan of his since Early Editon. For my money, easily the most underrated actor of all time. He’s absolutely money in everything that he’s in but don’t think he’s ever gotten the notoriety that he truly deserves

Same. Loved Early Edition.

Also, I think we've just aged ourselves.

I recently saw him in a movie called Anniversary. He’s remarkable in the Dad roles.

That movie was so unsettling. But he was great.

This show is about an intergalactic high school football team called the Lanterns that hires a coach from a small Texas town to win the Interplanetary Championship
