Kyle Chandler: "The Last Solid Dude"

Men’s Journal has declared actor Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights) as ‘The Last Solid Dude’ in their June issue currently on newsstands. After five seasons of FNL and little acknowledgment I think it’s about time some recognition is given to a solid actor.

 If you’ve never watched FNL, you’re probably confused about all the gushing and praising. Chandler has the ability to draw you in effortlessly with his good guy ruggedness that spills through on camera. He’s simple but passionate. He’s also not so hard on the eyes.

Here is an excerpt from Men’s Journal’s article on Kyle Chandler:

“Chandler spent 21 years living in L.A., but it never really suited him. He’s too self-effacing, too genuinely earnest — all “yes, ma’am” and “no, ma’am” in his easy Georgia drawl. “Everything moves a little quicker in Los Angeles,” he says. (He never calls it L.A.) “A lot of times you don’t know your next-door neighbor.” He’s much happier in Austin. They’ve got a 33-acre spread half an hour southwest of town, where he can busy himself with the horses and donkeys or survey the fence line on his big orange tractor, which Kathryn calls “his happy place.” He’s a volunteer fireman. He hangs out at the Seed & Feed. Sometimes he gets on his bike and just cruises the Hill Country.

The actor will also star in the top secret sci-fi thriller Super 8 out June 10th. The film lacks star power but will likely draw an audience since Steven Spielberg's name is attached as a producer. Take a look at the trailer:
