Friday Night Lights alum Gaius Charles talks to Snakkle about his return to TV this Sunday on Pan Am, taking time off to get his master’s in theological studies, and more!

Christina Ricci’s career may be coming full circle with her brand-new ABC drama Pan Am. Two decades ago she got her start on another ABC series, the little-known emergency services drama H.E.L.P. In the 20 years in between, her career has taken her far and wide, and now Snakkle takes a walk down memory lane.

“Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in,” are we right? Well, for once-television stars who took a break from the medium that seems to be this season’s motto. See what Christina Applegate, Tim Allen, and Poppy Montgomery (to name a few) had to say about taking the plunge back into TV.
