(about Playing Gambit, in X-men Origins Wolverine) "The biggest thing for me is doing this justice. Being with Hugh & Everything else, its not called 'Gambit: Origins'. I want to come into Wolverine & Contribute to Jackman's Movie the Best that I can & I feel I've done everything I could Possible to Bring this guy to Life -
I would MURDER to Play Gambit again -
Yeah I played it pretty darn hard seriously, as many Canadians do. I started playing when I was 3 or 4 years old, had the backyard pond and everything. I was so devastated. -on his hockey career ended by injury -
"Video Games and Computers have become babysitters for kids. Parents have to lead by example. I have two little sisters (i hear in their teens) and I help my mom raise them. You just try to give them knowledge piece by piece and tell them, [by eating well and being active,] you're going to feel allot better about yourself,you're going to be able to do better at school, you're going to have more energy in sports. 'i think its about self-improvement, as well- giving kids choices. It starts with coaches, teachers and especially parents by living healthy themselves." -
I'd just finished the 'Covenant' & got back & was fortunate to start in movies & TV was not really on the agenda but an opportunity to work with Pete & the script was 'Pretty Good' (cast laughs) from season 2 Special features - (interviewer) Where would you like to see your character go in season 2? Taylor: I'd like to be #1 on the Call sheet. Watch out buddy I'm coming" (to Peter Berg?)
- Is everything about Riggs written, or are some of those trademark Riggins-isms improvised?
Fifty percent of that is me doing it. This year, his saying is “No regrets, let’s make some memories” — that’s all me. All the stuff on the field, 90 percent of it comes from my take on him and how I want people to see him. Usually, when you feel it’s improvised, it’s a piece of the character I’ve created. That’s the freedom we have and that’s why everyone can relate and it feels so real.

- that’s just flattering that people can think he’s that fun where you could watch him for a full hour.
- I saw that Scott’s a really big comic book fan. Was he pretty envious when you got the role of Gambit in Wolverine?
I know he read for it. He’s always been like, “Kitsch, you’re so perfect for Gambit.” Ironically enough, he texted me last night after he saw the trailer and he just congratulated me. He’s more pumped than me to see it.

- “Isn’t that just a huge piece of him? With that first line, without even making eye contact, having that hat low?” Kitsch beamed. “Even though he knows — and he
- f-ckin’ knows, man — that the stakes are through the roof. He’s still that cool and collected, and doesn’t even make eye contact [with Wolverine
 ]. That was a fun thing to play.” (talking about Gambit's first scene When Logan asks Remy whether he’s Gambit, the character responds: “Do I owe you money?” When told he doesn’t, he adds: “Then Remy LeBeau I am!” - “I called home the other day and my mom said my little sister Haley just about kicked down the door, running in, shouting that Gambit is on a Slurpee cup! She was so proud of me!” laughs Kitsch, who has two younger sisters, as well as two thirtysomething brothersTaylor Made Article
- "I'm known as one of the guys that throws a lot of curveballs to other actors and improvs a hell of a lot. I'll go way over the top. Like the episode ("Seeing Other People" during Season 2), where Saracen (Zach Gilford) was losing his virginity, I was talking as (my character) Riggins on the field, telling him I have an econo-sized bucket of lube in my garage, if he wants it. Or I'll go up to Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) all the time and start whining about some STD that I have as Riggins, and that (the) cream that he gave me made it worse, and I need to go have a shower."

- 'A great day for me is taking a long ride on my motorcycle, running, working out, hanging out with friends. ...'I partied in my late teens and early 20s, so I'm not missing out on much if I stay in. I'd much rather do these activities than get drunk.'
