Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Walton Goggins. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Season 3 began with a huge hurdle to leap, and the show did so with ease, proving that Season 2 was no fluke and that it's still one of the best shows on television.
Here's who took home some new hardware on Sunday.
Wherein we open up our personal envelopes and present our picks for which shows and actors should take home a little gold man this Sunday.
Community, Fringe snubbed big time. But it wasn't all bad, just ask Louis C.K. and Game of Thrones.
Best known for playing a redneck, racist, dirty cop on "The Shield", Walton hasn't shown me anything. The Shane character is very one dimensional to begin with so I don't see anything impressive at all about his acting work. If anything it's an easy gig since this character is always lying, stealing and being annoying all the time.
I'am surprised the character his played has lasted so long but thus the appeal of the show is watching characters that you hate eventually get what they deserve.
Anyhow, the guy is nothing special and nothing to write home about.
It\'s quite a feat to be able to stand out in such a compelling, all around show as is \"The Shield\". Walton manages to succeed at this. Though fully committing to his hard core character, Shane Vendrell, I personally see a warmth and sincerity shine through underneath all that. The unconditional (platonic let me state!)love between he and Vic Mackie and their rocky, perilous relationship warms my heart.
I must say, personally he seemed to have \"Scorpio\" written all over him, as I am one myself, it easily resonated.
To read some basic trivia and find out he is a charming, Southern gentleman raised in a househole of women with a passion for interior design and lighting completely increased his appeal to me.
So, Walton, wherever you are, ironically it hit home to read your quote of how lighting greatly effects you, as my personal quote to the keys to life are such: 1) Timing. 2) Lighting!.
I get it.
