From a luxurious Thai resort to a dystopian American desert wasteland, Walton Goggins reunited with a familiar face on this week’s episode of Fallout.
While attending the Season 2 premiere earlier this month, the Golden Globe nominee discussed his onscreen reunion with The White Lotus star Jon Gries, who plays New California Republic soldier Biff in the Fallout episode ‘The Profligate’, now available to stream on Prime Video.
“Jon is a very dear friend of mine,” he said on the red carpet. “And whenever you work with someone like Mike White, or anybody that you don’t know in that community of actors or crew, whenever you come across them, it’s like family.”
Goggins noted, “And Jon just happened to be a friend of mine long before we did that, so it was so good to see him.”
In Season 3 of The White Lotus, which recently earned Goggins his first Golden Globe nomination, his troubled traveler Rick reluctantly has dinner with Gries’ Gary after their significant others Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) and Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) strike up a friendship. Before running off to Thailand, Gary went by Greg, marrying heiress Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) before seemingly orchestrating her death.
While discussing his Fallout character The Ghoul’s journey in Season 2, Goggins previously told Deadline, “The Ghoul really is the only loner here. He just wants to be with his family. But all of the other tribes, if you will, they’re just trying to [rebuild society] their way, and I think that’s just what happens in the world.
“On the other side of a calamity, different political parties are formed, different affiliations are made, and and you just try to remake it the way that you want to see it run,” he added.
