 "Emmy-nominated actor Walton Goggins reveals it took five hours to create look of his character The Ghoul in upcoming series Fallout")
Walton Goggins is diving headfirst into the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout, the upcoming Prime Video series based on the beloved video game franchise. Goggins takes on the dual role of Cooper Howard, a B-movie western star, and The Ghoul, his 200-hundred-year-old mutant killer version; two vastly different characters existing in contrasting eras.
“The Ghoul is very, very different from Cooper Howard,” Goggins explains. “He’s much more reserved. And that was a bit challenging for me to find both of them. Because you don’t really understand one unless you understand the other.” While Cooper might be a mystery for now, Goggins hints at a stark contrast between the two. “The Ghoul is a rascal, really. He’s got a great sense of humor, but underneath that is a lot of pain. He’s seen a lot and felt a lot and all the rest of it. And Cooper’s a kind, patient, caring product of the Greatest Generation. He’s about the best this country has to offer.”
Goggins’ transformation into The Ghoul goes beyond acting. The character’s signature look involved extensive makeup and prosthetics. “As The Ghoul, they remove your nose digitally, but the rest of it is makeup,” Goggins reveals. “What’s it like to act with all of that on your face? Once we really started discussing who this person was and what he should look like, I knew it was going to be an intense process. And the first time we applied the makeup, it took five hours in the chair.”
With both the physical transformation and the complexities of the characters, Goggins seems excited for fans to delve into the world of Fallout. In addition to Goggins, Fallout stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Kyle MacLachlan, Sarita Choudary, Michael Emerson, and Moises Arias. While filmmaker Jonathan Nolan directed the first three episodes of the eight-episode first season, he co-produced the series with his wife Lisa Joy under their banner Kilter Films. Fallout will premiere in India and 240+ countries and territories worldwide in English with dubs in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, starting April 11, 2024.
