Chelsea: What did you do when you auditioned for Friday Night Lights? Did you have to audition like a million times?
Zach: Yeah, I went in I think like 7 times and uh… they told me they didn’t want me and then they asked me to come back. And Pete Berg even, he told me that every time he’d be like, “Who the fuck is this kid? I don’t even know who that is.” Like he didn’t remember me. The casting director was only like keeping me around because Pete— because you can’t just have one person that you show to the network, so I was just like the space filler. Umm… and I don’t know. Somehow I guess they got— they, they changed their mind.Zach Gilford on Chelsea Lately (1/11/11)
