London, Mar 31 (IANS): Canadian actor Taylor Kitsch, known for his role as Tim Riggins in the television series "Friday Night Lights", says it's important for him to take risks and accept a variety of roles as he doesn't want to be typecast.

"I want to keep working with the best, keep going and be a better actor each time I go and dive into something. I want to be scared. I want to keep taking insane risks," he told OK! magazine.

"I want to be scared because you're going to grow through that whether you want to or not! I don't want to play the same guy. I want to keep throwing curve balls to you guys and keep telling stories," he added.

As far as real life goes, he plans to live a normal life in Austin, Texas, after buying a house there.

"When I'm not acting, I try to be normal, play golf, play hockey. It's funny because you're in this little bubble when you're working. When you get out, you just kind of reacquaint yourselves with family and friends. You try and forget and just try and remember what reality feels like," he said.
