Television Walton Goggins

[Cajun]

He was originally supposed to just be in the Justified pilot but he was so good as Boyd graham Yost decided to bring him back as a regular in the series. imagine if they had kept true to the original story that Leonard wrote.

Wow didn't know that. The show would have never been the same without him

First two films I saw Olyphant in were Scream 2 and Doug Liman’s Go. He was part of an ensemble cast in each but he made an impact. Scream 2, he has little to do for most of it and then gets to ham it up in entertaining fashion late in the film.

Go is just a fun movie. Among all those 90s trying-to-be-Tarantino-esque films, I think that’s a quite good one. And basically I’m just nostalgic of movies from that period when I was a kid/adolescent. It’s cool to revisit some of those.

Never heard of Go either. Also gets good reviews. Will see if I can find it streaming. Cheers.

Do you even fucking Shield bro?

Never seen an episode. With everybody talking about it looks like im missing out. Def gonna give it a go

Speaks volumes that so many of us are recommending it although it's nearing 25 years of age.

Very few shows will have that reputation.

 

[listrahtes]

But yeah, just an abysmal let down

Kinda sad Olyphant is that shallow to go for such a nepotism vanity project. That he pushed for this knowing how horrible the script is.

Been a fan since he was on The Shield.
Noticed you didn't mention it.
If you haven't seen it, it's one of the absolute best TV shows ever from pilot to finale.

A year ago I researched it in its entirety and it's aged very very well.

Rewatching it for the first time in years right now, on s4 and every time he's on screen I want to kill Shane.

Goggins is an outstanding actor and it's nice to see him getting recognized for it now in the present.

FUCKING THIS!!!!

Shield is my GOAT TV series. I can respect anyone who would say Wire or Sopranos is better because of taste, and even tolerate someone saying Breaking Bad...but that's it...

I'd put it under the Wire but not by much. Both are above Breaking Bad.

 

[mb23100]

I always think of him from this

 

[Saku'sEar]

Good actor i like him.

 

[Cajun]

Theres not a show that WG is in that he doesnt make better. I hope he keeps getting more and more roles. Hes finished with the righteous Gemstones so hes free.

Agreed.

It's funny I've seen this movie a few times but don't even remember him being in it that's how far back it was. Nice clip

I'm sad to say I've never watched The Wire either LOL I'm probably going to get some grief over that

He never really broke through until recent though. I don't know how many things there are for him. And this may be just the one-off season where things were poor. The guy had one big hit with Deadwood. But it's not like he's been in a ton of stuff where he would be in high demand I don't think.

Big fan of his since The Shield. That show had a lot of great actors over the years but no one has had the post-show success of Goggins.

Strong range too. He can be menacing, he can be hilarious, he can be likable (as on his short-lived CBS series The Unicorn).

Came to say almost exactly this.

@Cajun if you haven't seen The Shield go binge watch it right now. It might be my favorite show ever made.

I put off the wire until 2 years ago. Definitely worth watching.

Really? Definitely will start this weekend. It always takes me a bit to get into any show but it def seems worth it.

Hmm. That makes 2 binges.. I won't leave me house for days haha

Bonus points that it was based on some real events. The pilot has one of my favorite scenes ever filmed for TV. Lets just say it's accurate to the way certain things used to be done.

I give the Shield the edge due to consistency over 7 seasons. Less low points

But the Wire did have some great highs (and Nick's gfs tits)

So as I said, I will never blame anyone for ranking it higher.

 

[TribalDrumz]

he’s good, but I’m sick of seeing his big ass forehead and giant fake teeth all the time. He’s beyond overs saturated all over tv commercials now. Does he really need money that bad.
