Kyle Chandler’s bringing back dramatic family values with Bloodlines

Dynastic dramas are back, thanks to major new Netflix series, Bloodlines. Kyle Chandler tells Ed Power all about it.

KYLE CHANDLER shakes his head and laughs. “People view me as ‘Mr Dependable’. If you ask any of my friends about that, they’d find it pretty funny,” he says.

The beefy American (49) has become Hollywood’s go-to-guy for solid-as-a-rock decency. He embodied the virtue as Coach Taylor in the cult TV show, Friday Night Lights, and has played variations on the same super-reliable archetype, in movies such as Argo and Wolf Of Wall Street [in the latter he was the detective gunning to take down Leonardo DiCaprio’s playboy fraudster].
