"Friday Night Lights" correspondent Teresa McMahan sends this link to the Sul Ross website which contains an article about Charles "Tiki" Davis. He went to Odessa High School then went on to graduate from Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas, with a degree in communications. He originally had a part in the movie as a football player, but after getting to know some of the key people, he ended up with a speaking role. Here's an excerpt from the article:
Cast as minor, "locker room/in the huddle" extra during the first two of weeks of location filming in Odessa, Davis used much of his down time in between shots to network and associate with other cast members./cut/
"By the time we went to Houston, the director had decided to put me in a speaking role of the team captain for Dallas Carter," Davis said.
"That gave me several important scenes where I give hard time to the Odessa Permian captain," he said, so I'll be sure to be on the screen."
We'll be watching for you Tiki.
