Frank J. Avella READ TIME: 11 MIN.
Walton Goggins
Proving you can still be killer sexy in your 50s, Walton Goggins plays the irritable Rick Hatchett, who's simultaneously mean and sweet to his gf, Chelsea (the always awesome Wood), but harbors his own secret.
Goggins may not drop trou here, but he was naked in earlier work, like the TV series "The Righteous Gemstones" and "Vice Principals." LGBTQ+ fans may recall his same-sex kiss with Dan Montgomery in Tag Purvis's gay-themed "Red Dirt" (2000). The actor has appeared in many films, including "The Apostle" (1997), "Joy Ride" (2001), "House of 1000 Corpses" (2003, Spielberg's "Lincoln" (2012), Tarantino's "Django Unchained" (2012), "The Hateful Eight" (2015), and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" (2019).
His TV credits are numerous, and include major roles on "The Shield," "Justified" (Emmy nomination), "Sons of Anarchy," and "Fallout" (Emmy nomination).
