Connie Britton Compares Her New Role to Friday Night Lights’ Tami Taylor

Connie Britton exclusively tells Us Weekly the differences between her latest role and Friday Night Lights’ Tami Taylor

During an interview with Us Weekly, the Friday Night Lights alum, 57, dished on stepping into the shoes of Claire Hiller, a woman whose daughter Robyn ( Freya Hannan-Mills) becomes possessed after surviving an accident, in her new film Here After. Britton’s new role is in stark contrast to her beloved Friday Night Lights character, who is still revered by loyal fans 13 years after the drama ended, thanks to her loving and selfless personality. Friday Night Lights focused on the ups and downs of high school football players in the fictional town of Dillion, Texas, from their classes to their dating lives.
