Walton Goggins Is the Best Character Actor on TV, Period

“Character actor” is a term used for performers known for expertly shaping a role a little more on the sidelines, both narratively and socially. They take on roles that are as strange – or just against a story’s established normal – as they are distinctive. Walton Goggins arguably lives by that definition. For many, Goggins has felt like a new and refreshing presence on their television screens. And no doubt, he is refreshing! But before his recent escalation in mainstream appeal thanks to the success of The Righteous Gemstones and his stand-out portrayal of The Ghoul in Fallout, Goggins has been putting in the work.
