Walton Goggins
Walton Sanders Goggins, Jr. (born November 10, 1971) is an American actor. He is a regular on the FX Networks series, The Shield , portraying "Detective Shane Vendrell". Goggins was producer of the 2001 short film The Accountant , which won an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. While Goggins was not officially listed as a winner, he did go up during the ceremony and accept the award alongside Ray McKinnon and Lisa Blount.
Goggins was born in Alabama and raised in Lithia Springs, Georgia, where his grandmother owned a small village post office. At the age of 10, Goggins and his mother were the state wide champion cloggers, otherwise known as Mountain Dancing. When B.B. King was on tour, Goggins and his mother opened for him at the Atlanta Fulton County Prison.
Personal Life
In an extra behind the scenes interview from The Shield, it is stated that he comes in and becomes the character "Shane Vendrell" for the entire day. He sympathizes and empathizes with the character's gains and losses.
In another interview for The Shield, between himself and ex-cast member Kenny Johnson (whom is noted as Goggins' good friend), Johnson inquired him about his teeth. Goggins claimed that they were knocked out of his mouth by a baseball during 5th grade, resulting in a trip to the emergency room to have them put back in. They were knocked out again, a year later, at the bottom of a swimming pool, which forced him to receive dental reconstructive surgery.
