Tim Riggins is a character in the NBC/DirecTV drama ''Friday Night Lights'', portrayed by actor Taylor Kitsch. Tim Riggins was the fullback/running back of the Dillon Panthers. ==Characterization and background== Tim has been described as a character "who has puppy-dog, lady-killing eyes under his scraggly bangs."〔 He is the fullback/running back of the Dillon Panthers with jersey #33. Tim is depicted as a womanizer and his ex-girlfriends include Tyra Collette and Lyla Garrity, with whom he has an off and on relationship. He copes with life through casual sex and heavy drinking. Despite his laissez-faire attitude, he is extremely loyal to his teammates when the occasion demands, as shown when he physically hits an opposition player who verbally provokes his black teammate Smash Williams and puts his Panthers career on the line to follow best friend Jason Street to Mexico to talk him out of a potentially life-threatening situation. Throughout the series Tim lives with his older brother Billy after having been abandoned by both their parents. Billy was about to go to college on a golf scholarship when their father Walt left and Billy became the sole guardian of his younger brother. Despite their seemingly immature behavior and Tim's stoic and uncaring facade, the brothers are shown to be caring and loyal to each other in times of crisis. In season 1, Coach Taylor's wife discovers that Tim has been struggling academically and had been asking his schoolmates (especially the rally girls) to do his assignments for him. She pairs him up with Landry, who subsequently finds out that Tim has difficulty reading and writing (presumably dyslexia). Landry reads that week's assigned reading ''Of Mice and Men'' out loud to him and it is shown that Tim can comprehend the material better and even scored a B- on his assignment. Tim is best friends with his former quarterback Jason Street, whom he has known since they were young. Their catchphrase is "Texas Forever". They drift apart for a while after Jason discovers that Tim has been sleeping with his girlfriend Lyla Garrity to cope with his guilt over Jason's accident. By season 3 they are on speaking terms again. Through all the ups and downs, they remain almost unconditionally supportive of each other and are often seen helping one another out or coming to one another's rescue. Of the original main characters whom he went to school with, Tim is the only one who remains in Dillon when the show ended: Smash went to Texas A&M University in College Station on a football scholarship, Jason moved to the New York City area after getting a job there while Lyla, Landry, Matt and Tyra all left to attend college elsewhere. Riggins Also Signed To The University of Texas - San Antonio, but after a short period of time felt college was a waste of time and moved back to Dillon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tim Riggins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
