Friday Night Lights and After

The show gained a lot of critical acclaim throughout its first two seasons and a lot of fans, however, due to low ratings the show was in danger of cancellation after its second season. Despite critics’ praises on its realism and character exploration, it never gained a large enough audience to be safe for a long continuous run. However, the show scored a Peabody Award, several Primetime Emmy Awards, a Television Critics Association Award, and a Humanitas Prize during its run until 2011, thanks to a partnership with DirecTV but Charles only stayed for 41 episodes, ending his run in 2008.

He then started looking for more acting projects, appearing as a guest in the show “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, and in support roles in films such as “The Messengers” and “Salt” which starred Angelina Jolie. In 2010 he was cast in the film “Takers”, a crime thriller following a group of professional bank robbers pulled into one last job that puts them into various complicated situations. Afterwards, he was given more guest roles in shows such as “Necessary Roughness”, “NCIS”, and “Pan Am”.
