Taylor Kitsch is the third child of Drew Kitsch, a constructor, and Susan Green, who worked for the BC Liquor Board. He was raised in Vancouver, with two older brothers, Daman and Brody, by their mother in a mobile home park, because his parents divorced when he was only one year old. Kitsch attended Gleneagle Secondary School in Conquitlam, and after graduation, he moved to Alberta to become a student of Nutritional Training at the University of Lethbridge. However, as a three-year-old boy, he had started playing junior ice hockey and had a wish to become a professional player. Kitsch played in the British Columbia Hockey League, for the Langley Hornets team, but soon he unfortunately suffered a serious knee injury so he was forced to abandon his dream of becoming a professional hockey player.

In 2002, Taylor moved to New York, as he managed to sign a contract with the IMG talent management group. However, as he had to wait two years for his first job as a model, during those two years Taylor took acting classes, and worked as a nutritionist and fitness trainer.

In 2004 Taylor moved to Los Angeles, and soon landed a modeling gig with Diesel, and additionally with Abercrombie & Finch. Soon Taylor gained needed attention from film producers thanks to his good looks, and with his acting lessons, it was only a matter of time before he made his screen debut. It finally happened in 2006, in the role of Colm in the TV series “Godiva`s”, but was soon followed by a role in the film “John Tucker Must Die”, and his most recognizable role of Tim Riggins in the TV series “Friday Nights Lights” (2006-2011). Furthermore, in the same year he was cast in the film “The Covenant”, in the role of Pogue Parry.

Taylor`s next assignment in the film industry was the role of Joel Herrod in the film “Gospel Hill” (2008), which featured Adam Baldwin in the lead role. In 2009, he was chosen to play Gambit in Gavin Hood`s film “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, alongside Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber and Ryan Reynolds, which increased his net worth by a large margin.

In 2010, Taylor was cast as one of the lead roles in the “The Bang Bang Club”, alongside Ryan Phillippe and Malin Akerman, which only helped him to increase his net worth further.

After the “Friday Nights Lights” ended in 2011, Taylor returned to auditions for films, and soon earned the title role in the film “John Carter” (2012), and the same year he was featured in the films “Battleship”, and “Savages”. The following year, Taylor appeared in the films “The Grand Seduction”, as Dr. Paul Lewis, and “Lone Survivor”, which was directed by Peter Berg, as Michael Murphy. All added considerably to his net worth.

His latest ventures in the film industry include appearances in the TV series “True Detective” (2015), and in the film “The Death And Life Of John F. Donowan”, which is scheduled for a 2016 release, and which will only add to his net worth.

When it comes to his personal life, Taylor Kitsch is very private, and thus little is known in the media about him. He is very devoted to pursuing his acting career, but.in his free time, Kitsch works with charity organizations. Currently he resides in Vancouver.

#Quote
1[on whether the disappointing box office for "John Carter" was one of the reasons he "moved toward indies"] - It's funny that people are saying this. You go back to "Friday Night Lights." Then I did "The Bang Bang Club," which is probably one of my proudest things I've been involved with, and then these opportunities came along. You don't say no to Oliver Stone (who directed him in "Savages"). [2014]
2[on if he wishes there would've been a sequel to "John Carter"] - I miss the family. I miss Andrew Stanton. I know the second script was fucking awesome. We had to plant a grounding, so we could really take off in the second one. The second one was even more emotionally taxing, which was awesome. [2014]
3[on if the "bad press" over "John Carter" was hard for him] - I mean, look man, it wasn't an uplifting experience. My biggest regret would have been if I didn't do enough personally. If I didn't give it everything I had. If I hadn't prepped enough. I don't have that regret, so that allows me to let go. I still talk to Lynn Collins almost daily. Those relationships that were born won't be broken by people we never met. [2014]
4If you told me ten years ago when I was homeless in New York City that my first two movies would make close to $600 million, I would have laughed at you. I passed out from exhaustion on 'Carter'. There's nothing more I could have given to that project.
5Living on the subway in New York City was by far the lowest point. That's where I slept for weeks. But that's a different low. Not 'I don't know if I'll ever make it as an actor'. It was pure survival.
6[on Savages (2012)] To be in this film was a dream. I've been in the acting game for probably eight years. It's not just about being on screen, but attaining things in your life that no one can take from you, and this is one of them.
7[on unexpectedly being cast in heroic roles] I didn't really follow action heroes. It was more of a Sean Penn and a Daniel Day-Lewis and a Philip Seymour Hoffman that I admired.
8[on filming John Carter (2012)] You can name any part on my body and at one point I'm sure it was swollen or hurt or pulled or yanked or something. You're just in insane shape that you gotta keep up. It's excessively tough, man.
9Actors become so fucking sensitive. I've worked with actors who are fucking lazy and expect shit to happen without putting in time. Look man, if you're not prepped and ready to go to work, don't sign up for an Oliver Stone film.
10[on The Bang Bang Club (2010)] I was scared s**tless to take this on. And that's when you know you're doing something right.
11I definitely have a pieces of me like Riggins - my father was never in my life. I've had curve balls thrown at me.
12I've always been intimidated by the technicalities of taking photos, especially with a film camera -- not just a point and shoot. But getting a role like this there's no better moment to take it in. I look at photography in a different light, now. - On playing Kevin Carter.
13These war photographers would break up in front of you telling their story. That raised your game, your focus and what you put into it. I think for me this is why I do it. It's why you put in the work. You're telling the story of someone who lived and you have to do it right. - On playing Kevin Carter.
14[on acting]: I got enveloped with it. I'm not sure if you can over-study, but my teacher kicked me out of class for a month. Everything happens, you have to believe, for a reason. I lucked out a few times and met a few people who believed in me, and I'm still riding this wave.
15On fame, wild nights out in Hollywood: There's no need to get involved in all that if you are in it for the right purpose.
16A lot of people are surprised to hear that an actor studied for two or three years. They take the craft for granted and wanna just wake up and be an actor. But paying your dues and all that puts so much into being a success. You have an understanding of what it's about, being on your own for three or four years and living day to day on $3, or living in an apartment with no electricity. I didn't want to just go back home and be like, "Yep, it didn't work out."
17There's that stigma about New Yorkers, how they're so mean, but in my experience it was quite the opposite. People were very genuine and very nice, even on the subway. I mean, I was sleeping on the subway, man, so it wasn't like I was doing very well when I was in New York. It's a really intense city, and it tests you. - On living in New York City.
18He [Berg] just gave me such an opportunity, especially when you look back and see - and especially with this big movie coming out. There are a lot of people who came in and out, but he's one of those people who really took a risk on me and saw the potential. I won't ever forget that. (On Peter Berg casting him as "Tim Riggins" on Friday Night Lights (2006)).
19Video games and computers have become babysitters for kids. Parents have to lead by example. I have two little sisters and I help my mom raise them. You just try to give them knowledge piece by piece and tell them, '[By eating well and being active,] you're going to feel a lot better about yourself, you're going to be able to do better at school, you're going to have more energy in sports.' I think it's about self-empowerment, as well - giving kids choices. It starts with coaches, teachers, and especially parents, by living healthy themselves.
20Yeah, I played it pretty darn hard seriously, as many Canadians do. I started playing when I was 3 or 4 years old, had the backyard pond and everything. So I was devastated. - On his hockey career ended by injury.
21I would murder to play Gambit again.
22[About playing "Gambit" in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)] The biggest thing for me is doing this justice. Being with Hugh and everything else, it's not called "Gambit: Origins". I want to come into "Wolverine" and contribute to Hugh Jackman's movie the best I can and I feel I've done everything I could possible to bring this guy to life.
