“I’d love to ask other people that have hired me”: Fallout Star Walton Goggins Has No Idea Why He Keeps Getting Cast in Iconic Roles

Actor Walton Goggins has been active in the industry since he made his television debut back in 1989. Since then, he has worked on many acclaimed projects – both in TV and cinema – and has even been nominated for an Emmy, for his work on the neo-crime drama, Justified. He has also collaborated with legendary directors like Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino, having worked with them in movies like Lincoln and Django Unchained.

So far in his career, Goggins has played some really interesting and equally iconic roles. And now, he is coming back with yet another iconic role – The Ghoul – in the upcoming live action adaptation, Fallout. Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy for Amazon Prime Video, the series features Goggins as a mutated bounty hunter in a post-apocalyptic world.

Walton Goggins Has a Way With Dialogues

Walton Goggins‘ slow and sultry way of speaking make his characters seem more thrilling and mysterious than they probably are. His characters – like Boyd Crowder from Justified or Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight – have become iconic over the years, mostly for the way he delivers his lines. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the actor said:

“I never really think of flourishing dialogue. I just think about the quality of dialogue I’ve gotten to say.”

Whether he does it intentionally or not, the way he speaks has always made a difference to the character he portrays. And that difference shines through in his performances.

Walton Goggins Wants to Ask a Very Important Question

Having worked with so many big names from the industry, Goggins has made a name for himself with his various projects. But he also admits that he has been co founded by one thing. He does not know why he gets the dialogues that he does. And what it is about him that makes writers and directors write these dialogues for him. In the same interview with Rolling Stone, Goggins said:

“I’d love to ask other people that have hired me, ‘What is it about the way that I say the things that I say that made you want to write the things that you write for me?'”
