In the world of high school football, you'd kind of expect more characters like this.  Friday Night Lights is looking to add a bruiser to their roster.  Somebody who really knows how to throw their weight around, and it seems like this particular portly new addition will be recurring.  Click on to find out more about Friday Night Lights' latest player.

[JULIO GARCIA] OVERWEIGHT ACTORS ONLY, BUILT LIKE A TANK. 18 year old to play 16, Latino. The older of the squabbling Garcia brothers, Julio somehow makes his considerable weight into a virtue, "owning it," as they say...RECURRING GUEST STAR

High tolerance for intense cardio required, right?  I'm told this breakdown has been sent out before, but since I haven't seen it published, I figured I'd pass it on.  Anybody have any clues as to who is playing Julio?  Since they start work next week, I'm assuming the role is close to being filled.

Here's a few details on Friday Night Lights.

friday_night_lightsExpanding on the hit feature film and best-selling book Friday Night Lights, this award-winning series centers on life in Dillon, Texas, where high school football brings the community together -- and the drama of small town life threatens to tear it apart. Coach Eric Taylor (Emmy nominee Kyle Chandler, Greys Anatomy) faced countless challenges over the course of the first two seasons, but he isnt the only one juggling responsibilities between family, work and pressures from the community. In season three, Coach Taylors wife, Tami (Connie Britton, "24"), also has her hands full as Dillons new high school principal: managing a shrinking budget, a lack of school supplies, decreased teaching staff and student issues, as well as a baby and coming of age teenaged daughter, Julie (Aimee Teegarden, Hannah Montana) at home.
