Taylor Kitsch has played everything from a high school football player in “Friday Night Lights” to an OxyContin-addicted mechanic in the upcoming Netflix drama “Painkiller,” but the actor sees one of his most important roles as a positive facilitator for veterans needing a helping hand.

It’s since Kitsch has spent time away from the Tinsel town spotlight building a healing retreat for veterans and sober/recovery communities in Bozeman, Montana, that he’s made the realization. Located in the Rocky Mountains in the southern part of the state, Kitsch has found solace in a place known for its scenic beauty and skiing, biking and hiking trails.
