NextImg:Friday Night Lights’s Taylor Kitsch leaves California: ‘Being in LA was never a great thing’

Friday Night Lights’ s Taylor Kitsch is not looking back after leaving California and moving to Montana.

The actor, who stars in Netflix’s Painkiller, said his move out of Los Angeles has given him “so much peace.”

Taylor Kitsch arrives at the premiere of "The Terminal List" on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, at the Directors Guild of America theatre in Los Angeles.

"Being in LA was never a great thing for me, and I love being out here — there’s just so much peace to grasp,” Kitsch told the Hollywood Reporter. “I got a later start in the business, and I was able to have a sense of who I was and what I needed.”

Kitsch is now working to create a nature retreat for veterans and those seeking to recover from addiction in Bozeman, Montana.

“That’s what this place represents to me: It’s not going to solve every problem, but hopefully it will help at least one person work toward what they need,” Kitsch said. “I’m just really excited about this, about it being a base camp for people to empower themselves.”

Focusing on veterans’ concerns became an important cause after Kitsch met retired Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell while working on a film together a decade ago. Since then, Luttrell has helped Kitsch better understand how to support a family member’s sobriety.

“The stakes were very life-and-death, and Marcus was one of the few people I called for help,” the actor said. “When you get into that community, it’s like you’re a brother for life, and it’s really beautiful.”

Kitsch is currently building an A-frame house that will serve as the central meeting place for the recovery center.

He said he has funded “every f****** nickel” of the project’s budget, but that he is grateful to have found a charitable passion in a place that is miles away from Los Angeles.
