Connie Britton on Joe Bell and Why She Loved Playing Tami Taylor and Making Friday Night Lights

With director Reinaldo Marcus Green’s Joe Bell opening in theaters this weekend, I recently spoke with Connie Britton about being part of the biographical drama. Written by Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry, who co-wrote the screenplay for Brokeback Mountain, Joe Bell is based on a true story and stars Mark Wahlberg as an Oregonian father who decides to walk from Oregon to New York City to pay tribute to his son, Jadin (Reid Miller), a gay teen who committed suicide after being bullied. Britton plays Wahlberg's wife and the film also stars Gary Sinise.
