“Friday Night Lights” star Taylor Kitsch’s latest project is hundreds of miles away from Los Angeles, and he’s fine with that.

Kitch has ditched L.A. for the red state of Montana, where he is currently working on building a space for veterans and those in the sober/recovery community.

“I got a later start in the business, and I was able to have a sense of who I was and what I needed,” he told The Hollywood Reporter regarding his recent move.

“Being in L.A. was never a great thing for me, and I love being out here — there’s just so much peace to grasp. That’s what this place represents to me: It’s not going to solve every problem, but hopefully it will help at least one person work toward what they need,” he told the outlet, per Fox News.

Kitch is building his project in the city of Bozeman.

“I’m just really excited about this, about it being a base camp for people to empower themselves,” he says of the property. He’s currently building a home there along with cabins and a geodesic dome among other resources, including a wood-burning hot tub.

Fox News adds:

While “every f—ing nickel” for the project has come out of Kitsch’s own pocket, the “Painkiller” star did enlist in the help of a veteran to further the build.

While working on the 2013 film “Lone Survivor,” Kitsch became close with retired Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell. The two men have remained close, and Kitsch’s desire to learn about veterans’ issues has only grown.

“The stakes were very life-and-death, and Marcus was one of the few people I called for help,” he told THR. “When you get into that community, it’s like you’re a brother for life, and it’s really beautiful.”

He has also used relationships he has had with Marines he’s met over the years to help craft the space he’s building.

“With my limited skills, I’m more of a runner. . . . Consider me sort of the first AD [assistant director],” he quipped about his role on the site.
