TX Talks: Brad Leland (Buddy Garrity)

Published: Oct. 26, 2020, 7 a.m.

Thank you for indulging us on all our exciting news teases...we\u2019re SO excited to share that we got to interview Brad Leland aka Buddy Garrity!

\n

Brad could not have been more generous with his time and he answered all of our burning questions (besides the on set romances...we\u2019ll have to keep speculating that one \U0001f609). He shares stories of his childhood (living in Japan, performing at Disneyland), how his passion officially shifted from football to acting, his role on Parks & Rec in one of our all-time favorite episodes \u201cThe Debate,\u201d and of course, all things Buddy Garrity: his father/daughter dynamic with Minka Kelly, his descent into \u201cBad Buddy,\u201d the Season 4 change up and more. He shared so many great behind the scenes stories with us. Also, a HUGE cast member just happened to call him during our interview and we kept our cool somehow...he offered Carley encouragement, pumped us up with a \u201cclear eyes full hearts can\u2019t lose,\u201d and wanted our listeners to know about the Veterans retreat he\u2019s a board member of, Patriot\u2019s Hall (@patriotshalldrippingsprings), and that his wife deserves all the credit (the President of the organization).

\n

We could not be happier that Buddy is now our real life Buddy. Follow us @txforeverpod / join our Facebook group Friday Night Lights: Panther Pride / become a monthly show supporter at anchor.fm/txforeverpod!
