    Walton Goggins on Fallout, ‘vilifying’ police in The Shield, and the upside of Marvel green-screen acting

    Look at us, man,” says Walton Goggins, with a wide, chummy grin. “There’s no technology. This is human. It’s you and me.” The actor’s singular Southern cadence has oozed from the screen in everything from TV crime dramas (The Shield; Justified) to big Hollywood films (The Hateful Eight; Ant-Man and the Wasp). Looking ever so slightly strung-out – he’s only just flown in from Thailand, where he was filming season three of Mike White’s Emmy-splattered satire The White Lotus – he’s nonetheless in the mood to clown around. “Oh, this motherf***er is heavy,” he grunts, wrenching a small table across the room to position between us. He pantomimes a back injury. Grins again. “Just kidding.”

    With a sharp jawline and slicked-back hair cresting his high forehead, the 52-year-old actor cuts a striking silhouette from the shoulders up. Today, in a west London hotel room, he’s a little tired around the eyes, a segment of a chain peeking out from his neckline. And the kindis the perfect platform for the man recently (and astutely) described as “the best character actor working today”. Not everybody will recognise the name Walton Goggins in the opening credits of a film – but those that do know they’re probably in for something special.
