Walton has received widespread praise for his role as the moody, mysterious Rick Hatchett in The White Lotus.
His character of Cooper Howard, or Ghoul, also saw much success in the series Fallout, based on a post-apocalyptic video game with the same name.
The actor recently shared that he likes to read his scripts in his backyard with a coffee in hand and zero clothes on his body.

“I’ve been n*ked in the backyard of every house I’ve ever owned,” he told the Daily Mail's You! magazine this month.
He didn’t call himself an “exhibitionist” but explained, “You wake up in the morning and you have a beautiful cup of coffee with clothes or sans clothes and feel the air on your body.”
In his interview with CULTURED magazine, the actor admitted that not all his White Lotus co-stars fully understood his “process.”
“My character—Rick Hatchett—he’s isolated. So during filming, I was isolated,” Walton said in the Q&A with Fallout director Jonathan Nolan for the magazine.
“I liked mirroring that, but it was emotionally difficult,” he added.
He recalled being stunned by a conversation he had with one co-star while shooting the series.

“A few months into ‘The White Lotus,’ ‘Fallout’ premiered and started to take off,” he told the show’s director.
“One day, this actor I was working with—nice guy, good actor—came up to me and said, ‘You’re brilliant in “Fallout.” Please tell me you had a good time making that,’” continued the Django Unchained actor.
He remembered being stunned by the actor’s response and said he “didn’t get it.”
“Every day was f***ing horrible,” the actor of the hour said about starring in Fallout

“I don’t care how good you are—if you don’t understand that there’s a world beyond the script, if you don’t give yourself over to it, then you’re missing something profound in this work,” he told Jonathan. “This is the dr*g.”
Walton recalled telling the co-star that he played a guy “who’s lived for 200 years and seen the worst of humanity.”
So every day was “horrible,” he added.

The co-star “just stared back at me like, ‘Okay, wow,’” Walton said.
He added that he brings a certain “level of seriousness” to everything he does, whether it’s comedy or drama.
Jonathan asked him during the Q&A whether people are ever “starstruck” when they meet him.
“F*** yes, I’m Walton Goggins,” the actor declared.

Rumors recently claimed that Walton and actress Aimee Lou Wood—the onscreen lovebirds in White Lotus—are having a feud. But it is believed they may be joining forces for another project.
CNN journalist Elizabeth Wagmeister said she was told “off the record” that there is “something professionally that they are doing in the coming weeks together.”
“So, if there really is a feud, this has not stopped them,” she said on the Viall Files podcast.
“It’s not like they can’t be in the same room….there is something on the books,” she added.
“This woke me up more than four shots of espresso,” one netizen commented on his recent photos
