Tim Riggins is a character in the show Friday Night Lights, portrayed by actor Taylor Kitsch. Tim Riggins is the Dillon Panthers fullback/running back in the television series. The character of Tim is similar to Don Billingsley from the original book and the 2004 film by the same name.

Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights is a tough guy with a tender heart, supposedly just like Taylor Kitsch in real life.

Kitsch has also said his own personal experiences make him able to relate to the character of Tim Riggins. "My father is out of my life, more or less", Kitsch once revealed in an interview, "so I discover stuff that maybe I wasn't even dealing with as a person."

His background as a young and promising athlete also helped him connect with the role. Kitsch does admit to being different his character when it comes to his relations with women; "...I didn't have as many girls at my fingertips. I don't know many guys who do!"
