He has quickly become my favorite actor. I saw him first on Shanghai Noon and noted his accent wasn't fake. When you're from the south you typically can pick out when actors are sounding stupid making a Southern accent. Raised in Georgia hes got it. Then I saw him on Justified, Fallout, Vice Principles, Righteous Gemstones, White Lotus. To me the guy steals the show in pretty much whatever he's in. Anybody else like this guy?



 
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. It reminds me of Pedro Pascal coming off Game of Thrones. Guy has been incredibly prolific and has really delivered a lot of damn good performances.

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

I never watched The Shield but now I'm tempted to go back just to watch him on there. And yeah you're right Pedro Pascal was in big demand all of a sudden. I hope they both continue on cuz I like them both
 
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.
Now I definitely have to go back and watch The Shield. That's two for two.
 
Don't look up anything about it.
No reviews.
The Internet is dark and full of spoilers.
Go into it completely blind.
You will be hooked by the end of the 1st episode.
I actually will do this. I heard it was a good show just never saw it. But I'll give it a watch and let you guys know

I will say this : Hopefully whatever streaming service its on has it in 16:9 widescreen.
It originally aired in 4:3 fullscreen but they carefully & painfully re-edited the original film to be widescreen... and its 10/10 perfection.

It says they have it on Hulu so I can check it out. And if you guys haven't watched Justified he's awesome on there and the whole show is good it's also on Hulu
 
Justified as Boyd Crowder is by far my favorite role of his so far. But I'm certain he will top it eventually.
Where as Timothy Olyphant will always be Raylan in my book, there's 0 chance he ever surpasses that run. Remember that terrible netflix show he did right after with Drew Barrymore? Yikes

Watch Justified if you haven't. One of the best non HBO series to ever air

I think so too. I didn't watch the Netflix series. I did like Timothy Olyphant in the crazies though. And also in Deadwood I believe you were talking. And yeah Justified is as good as Walton Goggins has done. He was incredible in the and built for that role. But I think anything I've seen him in he pretty much steals the scenes. He's that good in his delivery

Olyphant was hilarious in girl next door, I enjoy him in other things (crazies is good call btw)

I doubt he can ever top how well he portrayed Raylan Givens though. Hope I'm wrong but we'll see

Goggins I think will continue to get bigger and more opportunities until he eventually nails something that everyone will notice him for
 
He really is a scene stealer in anything he's in no matter how small. I never saw him before Shanghai Noon but maybe I need to go back further
I didn't know who he was by name for a long time, but he was in the 90s Humanoids from the Deep, the really shitty The Crow sequel with John Connor, and House of 1000 Corpses. I'd see him randomly in low budget movies and on TV shows, and always think, "It's that guy." Dude has always had a way with his words, and comes across as a real smart ass, something I appreciate

I was impressed that he was in The Hateful Eight with a bunch of more seasoned film actors and yet he knocked Tarantino dialog out of the park. The dynamic between him and Sam was a memorable part of that movie. Feel like Quentin must have been impressed by him, too, to work with him again after his small role in Django and give him a much larger role second time out.
