Familiar Faces Returning To Fall TV
"Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in," are we right? Well, for once-television stars who took a break from the medium that seems to be this season’s motto. See what Christina Applegate, Tim Allen, and Poppy Montgomery (to name a few) had to say about taking the plunge back into TV. By Danielle TurchianoWhere you last saw AND know him best from TV: Porter starred as Dillon Panthers’ quarterback, Jason Street, who suffered a spinal injury on NBC and DirecTV’s acclaimed Friday Night Lights.
Where you will see him this fall: Porter heads south to the Hart of Dixie on The CW, where he is staying true to his small town Dillon roots with his new role as good guy George Tucker: “Every scene [in Hart of Dixie] is a portrait, and every character is so well thought out, but there’s a lightheartedness and a fun kind of feel to the show that I think television really needed and I needed personally. I needed to be able to laugh and smile and have a great time and be a little ornery and be a leading man for once. And they have created a wonderful town and a wonderful character in George Tucker for me to be able to do that.”
