Gearing Up for the Apocalypse

Picture this: You’re not just an actor in a dystopian saga, but you’re morphing into a wrinkled, irradiated Ghoul from the game adaptation Fallout on Prime Video. For Walton Goggins, that’s Tuesday! Seriously though, getting into character isn’t as easy as tossing on a cowboy hat and pretending to be a cowboy wandering through a post-apocalyptic playground. Nope. It’s a deep dive into the emotional psyche of a centuries-old creature and a serious workout in the transformation department.

The Three-Hour Ghoul Makeover

Just imagine, it takes Goggins a marathon-like three hours to step into the Ghoul’s noseless skin. Talk about commitment! But wait, there’s more – he plays a second character too! Meet Cooper Howard, a pre-apocalypse soldier turned corporate pitchman, who is much more fun and a lot less scary than the Ghoul.

Life in the Suit

But not every day in the sun is a cozy one, especially when you’re slipped into the legendary T-45 power armor. Imagine being all suited up and feeling like you’re stuck in a sardine can. Goggins spills the beans saying, “it was the hardest thing I’ve done here” – not the Ghoul part, but shoving himself into that armor!

The T-45 Power Armor Experience

This armor was created by West Tek and was supposed to be the ultimate soldier’s best friend – you know, before the whole world went kablooey. It was supposed to shield the soldiers from communism and whatever else the universe threw at them. But it has some serious design flaws! Picture this: you’re about to face off against Chinese soldiers, and poof! Your armor just stops working. How’s that for bad luck?

Diving Deep into Backstory

In episode two, just when you think things can’t get more exciting, Goggins hints that Cooper Howard was in the military! He talks about the power armor and its glitchy reputation like it’s a bitter ex. But here’s the cool part – we get a flashback to a time before the bombs dropped, offering a rare peek into the Fallout universe’s past.

The Brawly Appearance of the Deathclaw

But wait! There’s a surprise guest in this past: the Deathclaw, a monstrous creature that looks like what you’d get if a lizard took steroids! Fans of the game know this beast is legendary, and Goggins can’t wait to unravel this mystery. He just hopes it doesn’t mean he’ll have to wear that armor again anytime soon!

Keep Watching!

So buckle up, folks! New episodes of Fallout season 2 drop every Wednesday on Prime Video, and we’re all anxiously awaiting the finale on February 4. Will Goggins manage to not get stuck in that suit again? Only time will tell!
