As a sometimes ill-equipped but always devoted single parent to his two adolescent daughters, he is taking the major step of dating again. To Wade's amazement, he's a hot commodity with women, and his friends explain that he's the perfect single guy - a "unicorn": employed, attractive, and with a proven track record of commitment.He has also re-teamed with his former "Vice Principals" co-star Danny McBride on HBO's comedy series "The Righteous Gemstones," which has been renewed for a second season.

The film opened as the #1 film globally. In its review, Variety proclaimed, "Goggins, a magnetic actor who projects the lean, hungry anger of vintage-period Jack Nicholson, never hits you over the head with evil; he lets Vogel's sleazy cruelty seep through his pores."In Disney/Marvel's ANT-MAN AND THE WASP, the sequel to the superhero feature starring Paul Rudd, Goggins played 'Sonny Burch,' a character deep in the Marvel mythos. Additionally, he appeared in Twentieth Century Fox's MAZERUNNER: THE DEATH CURE, the third installment of the highly successful franchise that also opened at #1.In recent years, Goggins has had pivotal roles in films by two of Hollywood's most important auteurs: Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg.

Goggins played 'Rip Taggart,' the one-time leader of the SEAL team SIX squad.For over a decade, Goggins has been one of the most magnetic and intense actors on television. He received an Emmy? nomination and four Critics Choice Award nominations for his mesmerizing portrayal of 'Boyd Crowder' on FX's Peabody Award-winning Drama series "Justified," which ran for six seasons. Goggins' 'Boyd' was the long-time friend, yet ultimate nemesis to U.S. Marshal 'Raylan Givens' (Timothy Olyphant). Elmore Leonard, EP and writer of the short story "Fire in the Hole" on which the show is based, says of 'Boyd,' "There has never been a more poetic bad guy on television in the way that he sees the world."Goggins' critical turn as the complex transgender prostitute 'Venus Van Dam' on the FX drama series "Sons of Anarchy" earned him two Critics Choice Award nominations and helped shed a fresh light on the transgender community.For seven years Walton garnered much acclaim for his complex and edgy portrayal of 'Detective Shane Vendrell' on FX's gritty, award-winning drama series "The Shield."

He initially turned down the role of Boyd Crowder on Justified (2010) because he was concerned it would be a negative stereotype of Southerners. He finally agreed to shoot the pilot, in which Boyd was originally killed. However, his character did so well with testing audiences that it was decided to reshoot the end of the pilot to allow Boyd to live and be a recurring character.He has had significant dental work done after his teeth were knocked out twice as a child, once while playing baseball and again in an accident on a diving board.Good friends with his Justified (2010) co-star Timothy Olyphant.Is an avid photographer and traveler.Born in Alabama but raised in Georgia.Grew up in an 1850s Georgia farmhouse.Passionate about scuba diving.Co-owner of "Ginny Mule Pictures", along with partner Ray McKinnon, a film and television production company.After Joe Manganiello had to drop out of the "Six" miniseries, Goggins was approached about taking the role of a former Navy SEAL who falls into alcoholism after a mission gone bad, and later seeks redemption. He liked the basic idea but told the project's producers he didn't want it to be a "propaganda" exercise for the military. Among his key points on this score were that it was made clear that his SEAL character's actions in an early scene involving an anti-terrorist operation were "war crimes" and that it was vital to present the story of the terrorist who is after him with as much depth as the SEAL's character arc had. The producers liked his ideas and cast him after that meeting.Supports environmental and humanitarian causes. Is an active member of Global Green USA.Goggins was the object of Georgia General Assembly House Resolution 1589, which stated that the members of the Georgia House commended him on his distinguished acting career and on his Academy Award on behalf of the residents of Lithia Springs, Douglas County, and the state of Georgia. While Goggins' talent is certainly deserving of acting's highest honor, he has yet to be recognized by the academy with an Oscar. The Accountant (2001) did win an Academy Award, and while Walton did act in the short film which earned him a Slamdance Film Festival award, the only recipients of the Academy Award for that film were writer and director Ray McKinnon and executive producer Lisa Blount.Studied acting for 12 years under Harry Mastrogeorge and David Le Grand.Goggins appeared in an extended trailer (or abbreviated pilot) for a fourth season of the low-rated but critically-beloved TV show, Veronica Mars (2004). Instead of being a college undergraduate, as she was at the end of season three, in the spec season four, Veronica has graduated from college and the FBI Academy and is starting her first day as a FBI agent. The pitch contained a whole new cast of, heretofore unseen, characters and, except for Veronica herself, none of the characters from the show's previous seasons. Goggins was cast as Veronica's FBI supervisor. The CW failed to pick up this new version of Veronica Mars (2004) and the show was canceled.His two favorite authors are W. Somerset Maugham and Hermann Hesse.Father of Augustus, born 2011. |
