The third season of The White Lotus has been full of stand-out performances — but Walton Goggins‘ turn as the vengeful and conflicted Rick has been especially noteworthy. In the lead-up to the show’s season finale on April 7, it’s a great time to revisit Goggins’ long career — and the surprising roles he landed before becoming a household name.

A character actor-turned-quirky lead, Goggins first came to fame as an Emmy-nominated supporting actor on the FX neo-Western Justified; in the years since, he’s become known for his collaborations with Danny McBride, including HBO comedies Vice Principals and The Righteous Gemstones, and his recent lead on the sci-fi drama series Fallout, which landed him his first Best Lead Actor Emmy nomination in 2024.
