Taylor Kitsch told UPI he wanted to play Isaac in "American Primeval" because the character is a broken man who rediscovers his humanity and finds a new sense of purpose.

Taylor Kitsch reveals he had to have foot surgery after a stunt got "messy" on the set of his new Netflix Western 'American Primeval'.

Not just any star, Kitsch is also celebrated for his portrayal of Tim Riggins in NBC's Friday Night Lights, where he shared the screen with Minka Kelly. The drama off-screen is just as palpable, with Kelly revealing in her tell-all book Tell Me Everything their connection was far from perfect.

Set during the Utah War of 1857, Peter Berg's limited series lays out a world where love conquers little, indifference is the only path to survival, and wanting anything will only bring death that much faster.

I've never really been on a horse, so that was a big adjustment for me to learn how to ride – at least well enough for a camera to trick you guyss" said Taylor Kitsch.
