It seems the New York Times is crushing on Friday Night Lights stars Taylor Kitsch and Gaius Charles—whom Blindie has been ogling since season one of TV’s greatest drama (next to Mad Men)!
In a TMen’s cover story called “Tomorrow’s Big-Screen Stars Are on TV”, Kitsch and Charles are among the actors highlighted in the dapper photo spread.
Charles, who plays Smash Williams on the small town football drama, says his role model is Christopher Plummer from The Sound of Music and he can next be seen alongside Woody Harrelson in the soldier drama The Messenger.
On the other hand, Kitsch (better known as bad boy hottie Tim Riggins), who says his onscreen role model is Sean Penn in Dead Man Walking, can next be seen as Cajun mutant in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds.
Talk about a yummy-fest!

After DirecTV helped renew one of TV’s greatest, unrecognized dramas, Friday Night Lights, Gaius Charles–the only major black cast member from FNL–has been removed from contract. The actor will only appear as Smash Williams in a handful of episodes on “a recurring basis in season 3,” according to Entertainment Weekly columnist Michael Ausiello.
Not only has the deliciously talented Charles been demoted, but so has Scott Porter–who plays paraplegic former quarterback Jason Street. Executive producer Jason Katims tells EW in a statement:
“We love them. However, both of their characters have now graduated and in the creative spirit of the show, we have decided to give them powerful four episode arcs that will observe their characters as they launch themselves into the next phase of their lives. We certainly will keep the door open for both actors to return in the future, depending on the actors’ availabilities. We know both Scott and Gaius will go on to have enormous success and we wish the best for both of them.”
Blindie is crying right now…Literally, pulling out the tissues to wipe the running mascara from our cheeks!

NBC’s oh-so-wonderful Friday Night Lights made Entertainment Weekly‘s Top 100 TV Series of the last 25 years.
Ranked at No. 71, EW calls the ratings-challenged series, which will be back for a third season in 2009, a “terrific drama about family, community, the transition from adolescence to adulthood, and (oh, yeah) football.”
Plus, the eye candy on the show from greasy-haired bad boy Taylor Kitsch to yummy delight Gaius Charles makes the show easy on the eyes!
Speaking of Gaius, he will star in the play Broke-ology, directed by Thomas Kail (who directed the Tony-winning Broadway musical In the Heights) at this summer’s Williamstown Theatre Festival from July 9 to July 20.
