The long and winding career of actress Connie Britton has seen her appear in many films and TV shows, including The West Wing, 24, Spin City, and Ellen, among others.  Now starring in Friday Night Lights (playing the same role she played in the film version), Connie is relishing her role as the coach's wife/school counselor.  Connie, during a break in shooting, kindly took some time to talk with us at BuddyTV.





How did you get into acting and break into the business?



It’s something I’ve wanted to do for, really, most of my life.  I was definitely acting in plays in high school, I was writing and acting in my own little plays in elementary school as well.  And then I went to college and I was like, “Okay, now it’s time to do something really grown up and mature and that was just a hobby.”  Pretty soon I realized that that was what I wanted to do and I got out of college and went to a two-year acting program at The Neighborhood Playhouse in New York.  I started pounding the pavement in New York, really had a bunch of years where I was doing off-off-Broadway shows and started my own theater company and all kinds of stuff like that.
