Is anyone hotter than Walton Goggins right now?

I see him on so many commercials like Walmart and GoDaddy, so many late night talk shows, so many headlines, he actually has a Walton Goggins Goggle Company that isn't just a commercial for GoDaddy. None of this happened until White Lotus. It happened so fast for him. I feel like Michael Cera has had a kind of resurgence as well, but not at level of Goggins. Goggins is a great actor. I'd like to see more of him and Benicio Del Toro, who I think is a severely underrated actor. He plays the cartel upper management, sketch, badass role to the tee. He says so much without saying many words in his acting. That scene at end of Sicario where he gets her to sign the papers to not disclose what happened was elite level. He's in a Wes Anderson movie that just came out, but I don't think that's his niche really. Sicario and Usual Suspects were his niche. If I'm a film director I'm creating a film just to be around Benicio's niche film persona. They are usually home run films. He would've been excellent in No Country for Old Men as an additional 3rd character.
I like Goggins background most. From Birmingham, lived with single mom on low income, worked at LA Fitness counter and valet parked until he got a big role. Doesn't have what most Hollywood has which is a huge connection that got them their first huge break and an Ivy League degree. Most of Hollywood would never be A list actors without an uncle who is a film director or the such. Walton Goggins is more real I'd say than almost all of Hollywood.
What other actors do you wish you got to see more of?

He and Nicole Kidman seem to be in everything lately. I started wondering if they were just allowing their AI likeness to be used.

He’s going to enter Pascal overexposure territory quickly.

I was going to say him. Why is this dude everywhere?! He’s alright, I like him well enough, but it’s starting to annoy me.

Eh Pascal while a good actor doesn't have the range or the sheer balls to take on and put his all into every role. Goggins is like you want me to play a tranvestite in a biker show. Yeah Ill do it and kill it too.

Goggins is legit. Once he linked up with hbo/danny mcbride his trajectory shot up.
Vice Principals was hilarious.

You cats who might have missed/skipped The Shield are missing some fantastic Goggins. Obviously, the main reason to watch is Chiklis, but Goggins has some brilliant scenes in the show as well.

I like Goggins but I'm already sort of sick of him.

I want Mike Judge to do a one off episode of King of the Hill with a live cast of guest stars playing the characters (well except for probably Bill) just so I can see Walton Goggins as Dale.
Goggins is legit and has been one of my favs for awhile. He’s a terrific character actor that steals whatever scene he’s in. I was watching In The Heat of The Night the other day on MeTV and saw the role that started it all
Poor kid got hold of some bad moonshine and was stricken blind

Linking up with McBride showed his comedy chops...but his work before that was pretty amazing:
The Shield (Shane Vendrell) - '02-'08
Justified (Boyd Crowder) - '10-'15
Django Unchained (Billy Crash) - '12
The Hateful Eight (Captain Chris Mannix) - '15
Vice Principals (Lee Russell) - '16-'17
Righteous Gemstones (Baby Billy Freeman) - '19-'25
White Lotus (Rick Hatchett) - '25
Most people don't know that Boyd Crowder was supposed to die in the Pilot of Justified, but after testing showed how audiences reacted to the character, Grahm Yost decided to keep him in it. There has never been a character so well played on television as Goggins did with Boyd Crowder.

I did miss the shield but Justified was a great introduction as well

His character on The Shield was good, but playing Boyd Crowder was what I believe really helped him stand out. He could have easily been typecasted into that sort of role, but broke away from that with his tranny role on Sons of Anarchy. He continued to prove his range with Vice Principals and Righteous Gemstones by being great in comedies.
As others have said, he probably needs to scale back a bit to avoid getting into Pedro Pascal level of over-saturation.

Pascal is everywhere because he committed to the cause. He is the poster child for liberal Hollywood and parrots their talking points every chance he gets. It’s a reward system for Hollywood.

Or those that only watched Righteous Gemstones and not Vice Principles.
Vice Principles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Righteous Gemstones.

I hope he doesn't become an insufferable liberal count as well, like Pascal has.
