After reading this article I just wanted to say that I adore Walton Goggins and have been fanboying over him for over 20 years now.
While he has been somewhat typecast as the greasy-looking bad guy in many shows and films, he has also made a concerted effort to act against type as well.
He followed up The Shield, where he is brilliant, BTW, by taking a small, recurring role on Sons of Anarchy, as Venus Van Dam, a transgender sex worker. She is hilarious and tragic, often in the same episode. The romance that developed between her and Tig on that show was touching, and again, tragic, as well.
I’m elated he is getting his due.
