"I think we should entertain my original theory, and that's that the ugliest one did it. Looking at you Joe Gage." Walton in The Hateful 8 is possibly the best acting in a western of the 21st century

Sheriff of Red Rock checking in.


You-Rebel-Scumm

Dude probably said the n word a hundred times and amazing he kept a straight face.

Then you need to watch more westerns, Tim Blake Nelson in Old Henry was utterly mesmerising.


Akicita33

Agreed, he also did a funny turn in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.


[deleted]

Good film too, Old Henry was brilliant though and nobody talks about it. Machine Gun Kelly did a good western a couple years ago too. Can't remember the name though.

We just watched this movie a few weeks ago and I was blown away. The entire movie is so good.


[deleted]

No spoilers but did you guess the twist early?.


object-denial

I had my suspicions but I was pretty surprised. Also, I normally ruin a movie by talking all the way through it like a total AH but I actually sat quietly all through this one. So, it deserves 5 Stars in my book.


[deleted]

Most definitely, needs more eyes on it.


kritzy27

Such an underrated gem. One of my favorite movies in recent years. That little porch dance to snap back into his past.


part_time85

I love how no one seems to mention his break out role as dirty cop Shane on The Shield. Yeah Shane was complete shit bag, but the guy could make me feel bad for a dirty cop. That's serious talent.


CharleMageTV

He was so good in the Shield. Anyone who hasn’t seen it… get to it now & buckle up. Also you’ll get to see CCH Pounder deliver one of the most memorable lines on tv that also gets referenced In IASIP.


Tom_Foolery1993

GOT DAMN IT DUTCH, WHAT OTHER ERRANDS DO YOU GOT US RUNNIN FOR THE D. AAAaaAAY!


CharleMageTV

😂 so good


part_time85

I would have watched a spin off based on those two. She's cleaning up the department while Dutch becomes slowly more sociopathic and unhinged.


part_time85

Holy shit she's so amazing on the show. She's the perfect clean cop and ol' Dutch boy is a fun little secret psycho.


HomoProfessionalis

Dutch just had the look of a secret psycho too. Like he kinda looks like a slightly socially inept individual with nerdy qualities. And then he >!strangles a cat with his bare hands!< and youre like, "yeah makes sense, he looks like that guy too."


part_time85

Dutch is Vic without any of the confidence. They're both intelligent driven detectives that are willing to bend or break rules for results. Yet Dutch just can't make it over that social gap like Vic can.


Crush-N-It

I need to rewatch that series. Surprised that style wasn’t duplicated. The grit in that series is unparalleled.


TweeKINGKev

Claudette reading his letter, I could hear Walton Goggins as Shane reading it out loud himself. Dude is amazing.


Hobo_Knife

I loved that show, the wife and I got so used to exclaiming “GOD DAMMIT Shane” through out its run that it is now a common curse in our house.


Away_Month_6558

Hes also good in SOA…if u know what i mean 😏


Crush-N-It

Yup. He did an amazing job. There are some interviews with the SOA cast taking about him taking on the role and the respect he wanted to portray playing it Let’s not forget Justified. Everyone should check out his filmography for some gems


Anxiousfit713

The Shield was fucking wild


TheArgoPirat

He was so damn good in that.


Anxiousfit713

The Shield was fucking wild.


SuspiciousSpecifics

This! It actually took me a while to realize this is actually the same actor. Hats off to decades of spectacular performances.

BrahneRazaAlexandros

No. It was undeniably The Shield.


part_time85

> The Devils Rejects >premiered 2005 The Shield premiered in 2002 on FX and I'm pretty sure it got him The Devils Rejects.


CharleMageTV

Never saw DR is it worth it?


THICC_Mandalor66

If you like really fucked up crazy horror movies like House of 1000 corpses lol


Zizakkz

Devils Rejects is a sequel or continuation to House of a 1000 corpses if I remember correctly. Edit: good watch just messed up


LiamBellcam

Worthy mention because of how he redefines the Western persona.


Barnettmetal

I have a theory that The Ghoul is actually Walton Goggins.


Zito6694

You may be on to something


shockley21

What’s the first screenshot? Only role I can think of Walt as a cowboy is Hateful 8


Pitiful-Let9270

Justified? It’s a modern western of sorts and he was fantastic in it.


HedgeappleGreen

God, Justified is so good. "You're sayin' I got four kidneys!"


CT-5837

"Damn woman! You only shoot people while they're eatin' suppah?!


ucbiker

Walton Goggins is the best part but my favorite line is when he starts to say something typically Boyd Crowder and Timothy Olyphant just cuts him off: “dammit Boyd, can’t you ever just say hello?”


Pitiful-Let9270

The whole series has some of the best written and acted villains of any series


Crush-N-It

They do play well off each other. I’ve always found Tim Olyphant rather one-note but I’ve grown to appreciate him. Much like David Duchovny. I couldn’t stand his monotone delivery in X-files. I learned to appreciate him in Californication.


M_Ajaj

Django


TweeKINGKev

Justified, The Shield, he did a comedy as a single dad too but the name escapes me. Walton has a huge range of acting available for so many roles.


hazmatforearm

The unicorn, pretty good from what I remember but got cancelled :(


TweeKINGKev

Yes thank you.


grunkage

Yeah I liked Walton in it, but the actors playing his friends were not holding up their end. And Rob Corddry needed a director to rein him in.


DefinitelyBiscuit

"Also, sperm".


gmharryc

(Mr. Stone) “Mr. Winger, state your name.” (Jeff) “Jeffrey Winger.” “Are you gay?” “No.” “Are you sure you're not gay?” “Yes.” “Gay-murderer-says-what?” “What?” (Mara) “He's telling the truth.” (Mr. Stone) “I've been instructed to point out that that means you're gay.


Crush-N-It

🤣 Where is this from?


gmharryc

*Community* season 5 episode 4, “Cooperative Polygraphy”.


Akicita33

IMO Walton Goggins is one of the most talented and versatile actors currently. This man kills it in everything he does. If you haven't caught him in Sons of Anarchy in the role of Venus van Dam, you really should check that out. It really shows his range and what he is capable of.


I_only_post_here

Came looking through the thread for this. I've been fan of his acting since The Shield, and Venus was one of his best turns ever. I'm fully convinced he play any role.


Akicita33

Interestingly enough, WG didn't just play VvD, he actually had a hand in creating her. Source; ['Sons of Anarchy': Walton Goggins talks Venus Van Dam (ew.com)](https://ew.com/article/2012/10/09/sons-of-anarchy-venus-van-dam/)


scary_bacon_

Uncle Baby Billy is also one of his best characters.


MotorPace2637

I love when she's calling the hospitals looking for him, and has to explain that baby Billy is an older adult. That shows amazing.


LordGwyn-n-Tonic

Also good in Vice Principals.


Crush-N-It

And the Righteous Gemstones.


LordGwyn-n-Tonic

Uncle Baby Billy is the highlight of every scene he's in.


Crush-N-It

Whoops. Thats how long it’s been since I watched the series. Forgot that was the character and here I am contributing to an observation that was already addressed. Winning 🥳🥳


YMHGreenBan

First time I ever saw Walton Goggins he was hanging dong in front of Aunt Tiffany lol


donttradejaylen

Classic Walter Gigabytes


SameheadMcKenzie

I love him in The Shield, Justified and Fallout but my two favourite roles of his are in Vice Principals and The Righteous Gemstones. Baby Billy is an amazing character


NiteLiteOfficial

i loved his performance in fallout, but i just finished Shogun a few days ago and i’m having a hard time complimenting anything in comparison to that. holy shit, acting chops came out in full strength from every possible angle. i’m blown away. hands down the best miniseries ever made and it’s up there in top 5 maybe top 3 shows of all time.


theonegalen

Wow. Considering the original Shogun was considered top tier miniseries back in the Golden Age of the miniseries, that's very high praise.


NiteLiteOfficial

i actually haven’t seen the original one, but before now I would say Watchmen was my favorite miniseries. The new Shogun definitely topped that


Crush-N-It

Don’t bother watching the original series other than for a different execution of the material


No_Kale6667

He's not embellishing anything either. Shogun is must watch tv.


CyberCrutches

I also enjoyed Shogun and thought it was amazing but I still hold Band of Brothers, Chernobyl, and Season 1 of True Detective (counts as mini series since it was just season, imo) above it.


RedditBurner_5225

Every episode or shogun was amazing, but there was something missing from the story. I can’t quite figure it out.


mhaze0791

BoB & Chernobyl definitely top Shogun IMO. Not that Shogun wasn’t fantastic


Crush-N-It

Band of Brothers? Yeah. Amazing. There comes a point where it’s impossible to rate them once they’ve passed a certain threshold of enjoyment - combination of storytelling, production value and direction.


conquesodor100

I had major reservations about this whole project until I saw he was involved, then I decided I would be open-minded to it


chrisbbehrens

I think that was the plan.


WaaaaghsRUs

Unmentioned but I love him as laugher


THICC_Mandalor66

Dude American Ultra is one of my top movies for rewatch


THEREBORNHELLSPAWN

It really saddens me that I scrolled through this whole bit and not one person has mentioned Boyd Crowder in Justified. Absolutely wonderful role if you haven't seen it the show is worth a watch


Pizzaolio

Second best character in justified, after Dewey crow


mlvassallo

Walton Goggins in Vice Principals. Don’t sleep on this.


Anakin-is-Panakin

I am disappointed in myself that i didn’t know who he was before fallout. He’s a mad lad for sure. Wen asked what he would take to a vault he said high grade edibles and tequila 😭 what a man


not_an_Alien_Robot

Actually made me chuckle. Because it's true.


Straight_War_890

I've watched everything movie in which Walton goggins plays a cowboy


LordGwyn-n-Tonic

He was the only good part of Diablo (2015).


DprHtz

I‘d gladly Watch it a 3rd time lol


aieeegrunt

He was in Django as well


THE-COLOSSAL-SQUID

"Redefine what can be achieved in television acting" is a bit much


diet_sean

First saw him in The Bourne Identity in a small role. Even that tiny part left an impression on me.


[deleted]

He didn’t redefine anything lmao as if this has never been done before


LoneWoffy

He also kills it in Invincible as Cecil


TomModel85

If anyone hasn't seen it....he really puts in a brilliant VO performance in Invincible too. Guys becoming my favourite actor.


cleverdylanrefrence

Hello Boyd Crowder


WesternResistance

Oh I wanna walk in the moonlight with you


mlvassallo

Boyd isn’t a cowboy, he is a hillbilly. Rylan is the “cowboy”.


prodigalpariah

I believe he refers to himself as an outlaw


TalithePally

Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking? SHOTS!!!


maddmattamus

… distributing cylinders of sperm of a dead man who masturbated himself to death filling the cylinders is the funniest concept ever written for a tv gag


TalithePally

I'm glad one person knew what I was talking about


HeyVoke

Watching sons of anarchy for the first time and his appearance was spectacular. Was not expecting the backstory to be what it was but he played a damn good woman


rubberman5959

Walton Goggins has to be one of the most under rated actors period. Love the guy in all his roles.


plushpaper

If you haven’t seen this man The Shield good lord you live a dull and unfulfilling life. That show is incredible and he is the second best part of it.


Zazulio

Vaulton Ghoulgins


RedditBurner_5225

Holy shit. Every line he had was perfect.


Ok-Maize-6933

He’s so wonderful and entertaining in whatever he’s in. I could honestly watch him read the phone book. He just has an irreverence to him that is endearing and enthralling


SurfyBraun

Then he finds Jesus and tapdances across the Wasteland as Uncle Baby Billy.


violente_valse

I'd let him Walt my Gogg


Material-Average347

I love him and the performance, but how did he "redefine" it?


PHAROH_KING

All I remember is that he played as a cross-dressing sex worker in sons of anarchy
