"So you want me to be mute with like a lesser version of Billy Bob Thornton?" 😅🏈 Before starring as Tami Taylor on 'Friday Night Lights,' Connie Britton had a notably smaller role as the wife of the head coach played by Thornton in the 2004 movie of the same name. She joked that since she barely spoke in the film, she had some reservations when offered the TV role opposite Kyle Chandler. The show of course went on to become a beloved hit with Britton, Chandler, and several members of the cast reuniting this weekend for the 20th anniversary at ATX TV Festival in Austin. #FridayNightLights #FNL
