PS: It’s been more than five years since that final episode aired, and the last time we saw Riggins, he was building his house with Billy and he had that moment with Tyra, saying he didn’t have plans. Where do you like to think he ended up?
TK: I probably have quadruplets with Tyra. No, the way we left it was just so, in my humble opinion, perfect, you know? And I loved that we left it that way. I don’t think he’d ever leave that place, to be honest, but you never know. I don’t think he would be back in prison. He’d still be tipping a few back, though.
PS: Looking back, do you have a favorite FNL scene or episode?
TK: Oh man, that’s impossible.
PS: Any behind-the-scenes, offscreen moments that stand out to you?
TK: Yeah, there’s a lot of stuff that you guys couldn’t see where we would improv such ridiculous stuff to break each other. But I loved doing that kind of stuff. We had so much freedom. I loved the improv part of it, and Riggins could really go anywhere, so that was the beauty of him.
PS: Just saying, but it was announced that the Friday Night Lights cast will be at the ATX Television Festival this weekend, and soon after the Gilmore Girls cast reunited there, a Netflix reboot was announced. Would you hop on board if there was a Friday Night Lights reboot of some kind?
TK: That’s a thousand percent negative. I would not. We just left it so well. And just as an actor, personally, you just want to keep pushing yourself and it would be a couple steps backward, really.
