“‘The White Lotus’ turned Walton Goggins into a bonafide celebrity” links

I agree, The White Lotus has turned Walton Goggins into a bonafide celebrity and he seems to be enjoying it so much. He’s in his 50s, let him enjoy it! I hope he gets a major brand ambassadorship and he keeps having fun with all of it. [LaineyGossip]

    Wasn’t Walton Goggins already a bonafide celebrity? He was incredible in the Timothy Olyphant series “Justified”. 🙂 What a wonderful character actor!

      His turn as Boyd Crowder tickled my sapiosexual self. What a character and it blows my mind that he was only supposed to appear in the first episode!

    • orangeowl says:

      I think he was a bonafide celeb but the White Lotus boost seems to be a real thing. Jennifer Coolidge is another prime example that phenomenon.

    • mightymolly says:

      He’s been a celeb to me since Sons of Anarchy, but honestly until White Lotus I probably wouldn’t have recognized him on the street. I didn’t watch Justified, though.

    • Dutch says:

      He has been in the comfortable medium of character actor fame of being more famous than a “That Guy,” known for being great in every secondary role or ensemble he’s in, but never quite landing that lead role that captured people’s imaginations. Kind of the Brian Dennehy of his generation.

      • mightymolly says:

        Love the Brian Dennehy reference! I actually feel like he was a cultural icon after FX, but never sexy. So not quite the same.

    • JanetDR says:

      Love him in everything I have seen Walton in!

  2. Flamingo says:

    And the Righteous Gemstones made his peen famous!!

    But seriously he has been a well-respected actor for decades. I think he was famous well before The White Lotus.

  3. Kirsten says:

    He’s been pretty famous for decades, but I think The White Lotus has made him visible to a different audience. Like there’s considerable overlap between the people who watch The Shield, Justified, and Fallout.

  4. gaffney says:

    Is anyone watching Vice Principals, on Max? He is hilarious on that! I also liked his sitcom, The Unicorn.

  5. Roo says:

    I’m so torn. I want that fame and recognition for him, but I want to keep him to myself. 😆

  6. ooshpick says:

    Yep. I’m one of those who like a skeezy guy as much as the next good guy. He strikes me as a little oily, a little brilliant, and also i see a bit of femme in the mix too. MMMM
