Walton Goggins

Walton Goggins is, to my mind, the finest character actor working in American television. For two decades he has specialized in men who should be repellent — schemers, zealots, survivors — and made every one of them magnetic, even oddly lovable. That alchemy comes from how much humanity he smuggles into villainy; you always sense a wound underneath the swagger. I love that he came up the hard way, grinding through supporting parts before audiences finally caught on, and that he keeps a photographer's eye on the side — it shows in how precisely he observes people. He is the rare performer who makes me watch a show purely because his name is attached.
