Austin Friday Nights to L.A. Bright Lights:  A Conversation with Angela

When she was originally offered the role of Regina Howard in NBC’s critically acclaimed football drama Friday Night Lights, actress Angela Rawna was skeptical about taking the part of what seemed to be just another unflattering stereotype of a single African American mother addicted to drugs.  However, by entering an Austin based drug rehab facility to meet and talk with women currently trying to fight their own addiction, Angela not only discovered a different reality to this often overused plot device, but was able to shape a brand new type of character and show the audience a new face of drug addiction for the television audience.  Just wrapping up the fifth season of Friday Night Lights, Angela Rawna is on a career high as she prepares for new projects and the promise of a bright career as pop culture’s newest character actress.  This week at PCA Angela Rawna talks to us about Friday Night Lights, how she created the captivating role of Regina Howard and what’s coming next!
