Walton Goggins Elevates It
Essential Goggins performances blend Southern charm with manic energy, from detective Shane Vendrell to The Ghoul.
Tragically underseen (and painfully hard to find,) the independent film Red Dirt focuses on Griffith, a young man who wrestles both with his sexuality and with the inability to escape the ties that bind him to his small Mississippi hometown. The Shield occupies a weird space in the era of “prestige TV.” It never quite got the press of its HBO peers like The Sopranos, and it also debuted a bit too early to take part in the new wave shepherded by Breaking Bad and Mad Men. In his second collaboration with the McBride/Hill crew, Walton Goggins may have also found his second magnum opus character: Baby Billy Freeman, a man so absorbed in a blend of pride, shame, and his own bullshit that he’s as compelling as any of the titular Gemstone family.
