Austin—The Forgotten Friday Night Lights Cast Member

Friday Night Lights got a big boost last week with four Emmy nominations. At long last the TV Academy has rewarded a show that fans and critics have been praising for four seasons.

It once again got a nod for Best Casting and Rolin Jones was also recognized for writing the episode called "The Son" featuring Zach Gilford. And although Zach did not get a nomination, both Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton did.

We spoke with Zach recently about the show and he mentioned another star player that deserves some love—Austin, Texas. Gilford calls the city "the uncredited cast member on the show."

See what he had to say about the hip Texas hub in this Pop Culture Passionistas interview with Zach Gilford.
