Kyle Chandler on playing Coach Eric Taylor of Friday Night Lights: "One of the coaches here in town gave me the key to Coach Taylor. He said, ‘You cannot be a good coach unless you love the kids.’ That was the key to me: If I love the kids and I truly love what I do, I can treat them any way I want to get across what I want to teach them. Sometimes that caused problems on the show. During the first season, there was a fellow who did something that was written on the show, he lied to the town, he lied to his mother, he lied to everyone. The line in the script was for me to say to him, ‘Well listen, if you can get your act together and go talk to my wife over in counseling, maybe we can get you back out here again.’ And I just couldn’t do it. I just could not morally let this kid come back on the team; there was just no way. And he was off the show. That was the end of the character. . . . I’ve seen the actor who played him since, and I’ve apologized."
  • His older brother, Brian, is a successful attorney in Houston, Texas. During his brief stint on "The Lyon's Den" (2003), Brian would offer tips on how to act like a lawyer and served as a model for some of Kyle's mannerisms on the show.
  • Has two daughters named Sydney and Sawyer.
  • He received one of the faux "Bruce Baxter" posters from King Kong (2005) as a souvenir. His wife hung it up in their bedroom.
  • Godparent, with his wife Katherine Chandler, of Paton Ashbrook.
