Walton Goggins knew there were two ways to approach “Fallout” Season 2: Play it safe or go for broke.
In this Backstage interview, the Emmy-nominated actor breaks down his return as the Ghoul and Cooper Howard, revealing how the two sides of the character begin to merge as the series digs deeper into his humanity, family, and role in the end of the world.
Goggins opens up about an emotionally raw scene that was ultimately cut, working opposite his longtime friend Justin Theroux, and how the humor, tragedy, and action of “Fallout” all come from treating its world as completely real. He also shares why he prefers “script immersion” over traditional script analysis and offers his most important advice for aspiring actors: Love the process of storytelling more than the rewards that may come with it.
