The Real Reason Taylor Kitsch Was Caught Off-Guard When Preparing For The Terminal List – Looper

During a recent interview with The Sun, Taylor Kitsch explained the one particular element thatcaught him off-guard while preparing for the role of Ben Edwards on "The Terminal List." Kitsch said that he thought he was ready and adequate when it came to tactical gun training, but with "The Terminal List," it was different. "It's funny, I thought I was like really good with gun work, like really, and then I had to do a shotgun in this, and I was just terrible," he admitted. Pratt would come to his support, saying that he wasn't bad at all, although they would both agree that at the beginning, Kitsch struggled a little. Kitsch said he was given a shotgun with empty shells at his house to work on "combat loading" the gun over and over, and was caught off-guard by the difficulty after coming into "The Terminal List" a little cocky about it all.

It wouldn't be surprising that Kitsch would come in cocky, however, as he has been part of multiple projects in the past that have required gun training. Whether it was "American Assassin," "Lone Survivor," "Battleship," "True Detective," or "21 Bridges," Kitsch has certainly had to learn gun work before (via IMDb). Kitsch explained during a 2019 interview for "21 Bridges" that he had also never grown up around guns, but after "Lone Survivor," he was trained by the best and feels comfortable around dangerous weapons (via Associated Press).
