Keck's Exclusives: Friday Night Lights' Reverend Smash?

Friday Night Lights

When Friday Night Lights brings back its starting season lineup before the big 2011 series finale, the Panthers will be missing one beloved player. Turns out Gaius Charles, so great as Brian "Smash" Williams, has embraced God over football and is pursuing a masters degree in divinity.

"He and I used to text, but he has fallen off the radar," reports Lone Star's Adrianne Palicki, who will bring Tyra back to town. "We were pretty close in Texas and he was debating even then if he wanted to stay in acting or become a minister. This was something he really struggled with, so I'm glad he's happy."

Amen.
