He also appears in the limited edition coffee table book "About Face" by celebrity photographer John Russo.

In 2006, Kitsch was cast in his breakout role on the NBC sports teen drama television series "Friday Night Lights" based on Peter Berg's 2004 film of the same name and is set in the fictional town of Dillon, Texas.
