De naam Walton Goggins zal je weinig zeggen maar hij zit in veel van je favoriete TV series als The Shield, Sons of Anarchy en films als Django Unchained en nu Tomb Raider. Ter promotie van de laatste film had de website Collider dit interview met hem en daar van kan je hier onder alvast een stukje lezen.


Collider: With Tomb Raider, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and the L.A. Confidential TV series, it seems like a good time to be you.

WALTON GOGGINS
: I hope so! I think it will always be a good time to be me, as long as I have my little boy. I'm doing okay. Life is all right.

When you read this script, did you have a list of red flags that, if they'd been there, you wouldn't have done this?

GOGGINS:
Yeah, absolutely! And then, I read it. You don't judge a book by its cover. I was sitting there, reading the story and thinking about Alicia [Vikander] playing this iconic character, and I got to the end and thought, "My god, I think I know what I could do for her and I think I know what I could do for this director's vision." And then, I spoke with Roar [Uthaug], and they wanted that. I was not surprised, but I suppose I was gratified that he heard my interpretation of it and he said, "That's what I want. That's exactly what I want." I wasn't trying to accommodate an idea of what he may want. It was just, "This is how I see this guy, and I just really wanna play him in a very real way." I wanted to see who he is, where he comes from, and what is life is like, day to day, on this island. The rest is what you saw.
