Taylor Kitsch is a Canadian actor/model mostly known for his role in X-men Origins: Wolverine as Remy LeBeau/Gambit. Taylor has also shared the screen with significant actors like Blake Lively, Salma Hayek, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Taylor Kitsch Bio, Family, Childhood, Education
Taylor was born on April 8, 1981, in Kelowna, British Colombia to Drew Kitsch and Susan Kitsch.
His mother, Susan, worked for BC Liquor Board while his father Drew worked in construction. His parents separated when he was only one. Her and his two older brothers, Broody and Daman, were raised by their mother in a mobile home park.
Apart from his biological brothers, Taylor also has two younger maternal half-sisters. Taylor went to Gleneagle Secondary School in Coquitlam. Later Taylor went to the University of Lethbridge for a year and lived with his brother.
After his parents got separated, Taylor lived in Port Moody and Anmore. As a child, Taylor was very interested in ice hockey. He started playing ice hockey when he was just three years old. He even played junior ice hockey for Langley Hornets in British Colombia Hockey League.
But during those times he suffered a major injury in his knee which ruined his dream as an ice hockey player. Following his injury, he took nutrition and economics courses at the University.

Taylor Kitsch Career downfall
Taylor’s career went backward when his two most expected movies John Carter and Battleship failed to do its magic in both the box office and critics section.
Savages, a 2012 Oliver Stone film that mostly required Kitsch and Blake Lively to be sweaty and together, barely broke even; Lone Survivor did well, but Kitsch was secondary to both Mark Wahlberg and Eric Bana. His attempts at small-indie counterprogramming — like The Grand Seduction, whose primary appeal was Kitsch in wool cowl-neck sweaters — barely made a blip outside Canada.
Kitsch was praised for his performance as Bruce Niles in The Normal Heart (2014), but his film career had effectively disappeared. Even a turn on the second season of True Detective in 2015 — a series whose first season was responsible for the so-called McConnaissance — couldn’t change the narrative that had collected around Kitsch’s career, in part because the entire season was universally acknowledged as overwrought garbage.
All these flops and his bad luck pulled him backward of his career.
