Unfortunate, but true. Ha - I have no feelings about Eric Bana one way or the other but Connie Britton has permanent goodwill with me for playing Tami Taylor on Friday Night Lights (see also: Kyle Chandler for playing Coach Eric Taylor, Zach Gilford for playing Matt Saracen, and Jesse Plemons for playing Landry Clark). It's a trip to me to see someone whose most famous character is a no bullshit, gentle when you need it but also tough when you need it kind of woman to this pitiful woman who needs a man at any cost. Like, Tami and Eric were a fantastic couple but you also know that a) if Eric ever really fucked up, Tami would leave, and b) if she did leave, she would be just fine on her own. If she decided to date she'd date decent dudes and she wouldn't marry anyone after 8 weeks. (She also wouldn't tolerate the way Debra's kids speak to Debra - Tami AND Eric checked Julie a bunch of times for talking smart.) 13 Link to comment

Not matter what, and I love that you pointed out Tammy and Debs distinct differences. 6 Link to comment

Tami Taylor is a 180 from Debra Newell. 10 Link to comment

I did see her in 9-1-1 but she was kinda wishy washy (though not dumb and stupid) in that. 2 Link to comment
kicksave January 8, 2019 Share January 8, 2019 5 hours ago, Jillybean said: Great episode, even if much of it was conjecture. But Jean Smart and even (to a lesser extent) Connie B both had a Minnesota/North Dakota accent going strong and it was super, super distracting. We've heard it from Jean in earlier eps and only if Arlane is from up there does that make any sense. Jean Smart played the matriarch of a crime family in Minnesota on the TV series "Fargo"...she had a killer Minnesota accent in that show I guess she liked it so much she kept it. 2 Link to comment
Mom2twoNonna2-3 January 8, 2019 Share January 8, 2019 She was also great in Nashville. Connie Britton has become one of my favorite actresses, Spin City, West Wing, FNL, Nashville. It's hard to see her on this show, but, she is certainly hitting the naivete out of the park. I really have no reference with Bana, but, I'll have a harder time separating him from the park than Coach Tami Taylor. 6 Link to comment

He played a gay teacher at the high school that was the focal point of the show. Great show and introduced us to so many great actors like Claire Danes, Jared Leto, "Cyrus Bean" and so many others. He was also Meredith Grey's dad on Grey's Anatomy and a whistleblower on an episode of The West Wing. He's a fabulous character actor. 6 Link to comment

CruiseDiva January 10, 2019 Share January 10, 2019 I really liked Connie Britton in Nashville. She and her fabulous hair were the complete iconic country music queen package, a la Tammy Wynette. 3 Link to comment

That was my first introduction to Connie as well; I just kept hearing from other people about how awesome she was on various other TV shows and figured I’d check out her vibe. She made a very believable mature country star goddess as Rayna James, aside from the fact that her singing voice wasn’t all that strong; shows you how good she is if she somehow was able to play such a strong chanteuse character despite obviously not being a great singer otherwise. And her fizzy turn as “the morally corrupt Faye Resnick” from “The People Vs. OJ” was pretty brilliant as well. I previously had enjoyed mostly *looking* at Eric Bana back at his physical peak, like when he costarred with Brad Pitt in “Troy”; that was some epic period-piece hotness right there, complete with Orlando Bloom playing his little brother. And I liked him a lot in Steven Spielberg’s “Munich”, even though I found myself mostly fondly remembering that emotional/raw final sex scene he had at the end...that was intense! 5 Link to comment

elizacat February 17, 2019 Share February 17, 2019 Eric Bana actually started out in a sketch comedy show in Australia called Full Frontal. He’s actually got great comic ability and if you see any interviews with him comes across as a real nice down to earth guy. I read an interview with him where he said he’s turned down a lot of roles as he doesn’t want to move his family from the Australia to the US. He plays creepy very well. Like others have mentioned on here Connie Britton will always be Tammy Taylor to me. Link to comment

Cupcake04 February 23, 2019 Share February 23, 2019 For all the Connie Britton fans here.....no one has mentioned The Brothers McMullen! Fantastic movie she stars in with Edward Burns (speaking of which, where the hell has he been?). McMullen was my first introduction to Connie and I have loved her ever since. If you have the time, check it out....if you are Irish and/or Catholic, you will especially love it. Off to go down Edward Burns rabbit hole now......... 1 Link to comment
