Walton Goggins on Playing Boyd Crowder in “Justified" | The Rich Eisen Show | 2/20/20

[@jayseaborg3895]

The delivery of "We dug coal together" has to be one of the all-time greatest last lines of any series.

My buddy and I say that to each other when we have to do the other a HUGE favor. I always say “remember Bigs, we dug coal together” it’s just become a metaphor for “we’ve lived together” I’m typing this while the video is going and Walton just said that LOL

Never heard of Walter Goggins before this show and cannot forget him after. One of my all-time favorite TV characters. Boyd Crowder is one of the best acting jobs I have ever seen. Nothing beats a well-acted villain who sincerely loves and enjoys being bad, and not in the modern sense when bad guys enjoy making people suffer. Outlaws as opposed to sadists.

This show is SO quotable, but so few know how quotable it is...shame really...

[@mattk3654]

I laughed so much when Boyd said that, and Raylan's reply, "so I've been told" is equally as funny and definitely on point for something each character would say and the way they would say it. It was(like many other scenes on this show) just beautifully organic and naturally what you'd expect them to say to each other. And it really boils down to the connection the actors have as real life friends AND the connection the characters have because "they dug coal" together. And sometimes a job like that brings you to treat someone like a real life sibling even more so than your actual siblings. I used to work in a steel mill. Using tongs to feed nickel into a rolling mill to shape the hot metal into whatever the order called for. It was very hard work, sometimes the bars could weigh several hundred pounds and we had to work together to get the job done. There were days that I could've killed some of the guys I worked with. But every day was a day of do whatever needed to keep them safe, and I'm certain they'd have done the same for me. Something about hard work that brings people together in a way that can't be explained other than "we dug coal together" or "we rolled metal together"....... it's kinda the same difference. If you get what I'm saying.

Justified is what you get with a cast hired for their talent and not anything else and also a group of amazing writers and production staff. Throw all these points in the pot and out comes an amazing series.

[@adubbelde1]

Walton talks about a bond formed when you go through a trauma together. When I was in High School, the entire cheerleading squad was killed in a plane crash returning from state BB tournament. We grieved together and we still carry that with us after more than 50 years. We've memorialized them in more ways than one. It's a shared experience that binds us together.

Walton Goggins has a way of emotionally involving the audience in any character he plays. This is the mark of a great actor.

[@glenbateman5960]

I first saw Walton Goggins when he was a young man on "In the Heat of the Night" and he was underrated even back then. He has the ability to command every scene he is in. Always a joy to watch him work. He's one of those actors where you find yourself saying, "If Walton Goggins is in it, it can't possibly be bad." And you're never disappointed.

[@RamblinManMoto]

He was made for that role. Just loved watching any scene with him in it.

[@SixStringflyboy]

You should see him in Fallout then. Phenomenal.

[@13scubapro]

His portrayal of Boyd Crowder is among the most powerful acting performances I have seen in my 70 years. The writing of this show is tightest I’ve ever seen. You never see a character saying or doing anything that’s inconsistent with their characters make up. And the secondary characters are wonderful especially Dewey Crowe and Dickie Bennett. Art, Argo, Tim and Racheal were great as well. I think this is the best television I ever watched.

[@zakofrx]

Very rare and impossible now.. Every character fitted their role just as if they were real people.. Unlike now were they chose the race and sexuality before hand for diversity and then just give them the role... Makes now sense but it makes the Woke happy...

I can’t stop watching this series over and over and over again, and Goggins is one of the reasons!

He and Chiklis were pretty brutal villains in the Shield, but Boyd Crowder is indeed a masterpiece. This was one of my top series of all time, but far and away the greatest series conclusion in TV history.

"Justified" ranks right up there with the best TV dramas of our time, and Walton Goggins contributed greatly to making it so. It would have been a very different show without him.
