Tim McGraw’s Best Acting Roles:
McGraw’s turn as James Dutton in 1883 was his most demanding role. He was mostly praised for his part in bringing the story of Western expansion to life amid threats from rustlers, nature and Native Americans. The show wrapped after one season, with both McGraw and Hill commenting on their grueling schedule during filming.
Prior to 1883, McGraw starred in feature films including The Shack, Tomorrowland and Country Strong (with Gwyneth Paltrow). His role as Sean Tuohy opposite Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side elevated his status in Hollywood. In 2004, he played Charles Billingsley in Friday Night Lights, a Billy Bob Thorton movie based on a Michael Lewis book.
That role was his breakout role. His character was the abusive father to Don Billingsley, played Garrett Hedlund. McGraw had to play an alcoholic four years after he’d acknowledged his own drinking problems and put down the bottle for good.
