    Clear eyes, full hearts, no reboots.

    Taylor Kitsch, who played beloved bad boy Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights, recently told Variety's Marc Malkin that he will never appear in a reunion or reboot of the drama.

    "You may see it, but I will not be a part of it," said Kitsch.

    "I'm done. I'm good," he continued. "I want to keep growing as an actor. Going back to Rigs — let him live in everyone else's memories. Whatever that is, whatever he means to them, let him lay there."

    That said, Kitsch has no negative feelings about Friday Night Lights — he simply wants to move on to other roles.

    "It was such a huge springboard for me, but I’m such a different actor now," said The Terminal List star. "It allowed me to explore the process, be f*cking green and embrace it."

    All seasons of Friday Night Lights are streaming on Netflix.
