As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in various virtual worlds, I can wholeheartedly relate to Walton Goggins‘ apprehension about revisiting his role as The Ghoul for the second season of Fallout. Like him, I too have experienced the trials and tribulations that come with donning elaborate costumes or undergoing lengthy makeup processes to bring a character to life – though mine are usually confined to digital avatars rather than physical prosthetics.
In various roles across his acting career, Walton Goggins has undeniably shone brightly, but perhaps never more so than in the highly anticipated 2024 TV series “Fallout”. As Cooper Howard, or The Ghoul, he delivered a captivating performance that resonated with critics. Now, Goggins is poised to reprise this role for the second season of one of Prime Video’s top shows. Interestingly, Goggins has shared one reason he’s apprehensive about returning to this character, and I can certainly understand his trepidation.
Fans eagerly await Season 2 of Fallout, largely due to the exceptional quality of its first season. With such high expectations for the storyline, there’s a lot of anticipation surrounding the upcoming episodes. During an interview with EW, Walton Goggins, star of The Righteous Gemstones, didn’t express worry about the audience’s excitement as much as he did about the makeup process itself, which he finds challenging.
As a gamer, let me tell you, I’m finding it tough to dive back into this game again. You know that feeling when you pick up an old controller and suddenly remember the intricate controls of a game you haven’t played in ages? It’s kind of like that. These prosthetics, they’re familiar, but somehow new and intimidating at the same time. I guess it’s like asking why someone decides to take on another challenge, after forgetting just how tough the last one was!
As a gaming enthusiast, I must admit, it took me aback to learn this is a worry for the Justified alum, given his latest update. The man himself shared an Instagram post, revealing he’s back in the makeup chair for Season 2, and even posted a picture of prosthetics being applied to his face. His eagerness to get back to work was evident, as he exclaimed that he does it “for the love of the game.” However, I can empathize with the apprehensions raised by the Ant-Man and the Wasp star, as concerns are valid when it comes to our chosen fields.
Walton Goggins’ character is brought to vivid existence not just through the actor’s convincing performance, but also due to the hard work of talented makeup artists. During interviews for Fallout, Goggins shared that his daily transformation into the Ghoul took considerable time on set. In a separate discussion with TopMob, he admitted that even his southern accent was influenced by the prosthetics. Clearly, putting on the makeup isn’t simple, so his dedication is truly valued.
Due to his exceptional portrayal as The Ghoul, Mr. Goggins has garnered numerous award nominations across various platforms such as the Gotham TV Awards, Saturn Awards, Astra TV Awards, and even an Emmy nod for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Furthermore, many critics have praised his performance in the video game adaptation, making it evident that the time he spends getting ready with makeup is well-spent.
In the finale of Fallout Season 1, the Ghoul embarks on a journey to locate Vault-Tec’s braintrust, accompanied by Lucy MacClean, a resident from Vault 33. I can’t wait to follow their narrative further and to have Walton Goggins reprise his character as the gun-wielding inhabitant of the wasteland. Given that Goggins has had ample makeup sessions already, here’s hoping the process will be less challenging for him during the production of Season 2.
As you anticipate the upcoming episodes, why not dive into the first season of Fallout right away, which is available through your Prime Video membership?
