Walton Goggins dishes 'The Hateful Eight' and playing Sheriff Chris Mannix

[@krisross8818]

He fucking killed it with his performance in this movie. The way he delivered his lines was absolutely hilarious, he was creating laughs where there were no punchlines. He was a standout amid a standout cast. I love Kurt Russell and he was amazing as well, I really can't point out an actor who was mediocre in this film, they were all great. Goggins hooked me with this performance, I knew of his work before and thought he was a good actor but now I'm a legitimate fan and am hoping this role gives him some more opportunities to play great characters. An actor is only as good as the material they perform and this guy deserves good material. No one knew how great Christoph Waltz could be until he got a crack at some great writing. To my knowledge he was a working German actor doing soap operas and the like but once he got an opportunity to mold a memorable character he took it by the balls and crushed it out of the park. I'm hoping the same happens with Goggins and he gets a nomination for best supporting actor. I think Russell, Leigh, and Jackson also deserve a nomination for their performances, the other actors were superb as well and could also qualify for that distinction. I don't know if there is an award for best ensemble cast but if there is this cast deserves not only the nomination but the win itself. Best screenplay should also nominate Tarantino for the excellent script.

[@Luvie1980]

+Kris Ross Why wasn't he nominated?

[@sresner7]

You're so right! Loved him, definitely my favorite character in the film.

[@ayej550]

+Kris Ross You're absolutely right. Love his performance and he nailed the role

[@dariushcreates]

+Kris Ross probably one of the most likeable out of the hateful XD

[@GeorgeMillerUSA]

+Kris Ross He's pretty unlikeable in Django, but his my favorite in Hateful 8.

[@rock93soad]

"So, you have a letter from Abraham Lincoln? Yes The Abraham Lincoln?! Yes Abraham Lincoln, the president of the United States? Yes Of America? Yes Wrote you a letter personally... Yes ..." My favourite scene :D

[@scampoli25]

I love the way he dips his head and delivers the last line “Personally?”

[@durtyjtv]

Well a pen pal is practically a friend 😂

[@jasonsea6110]

"So, you got a phone call from Quentin Tarantino? Yes The Quentin Tarantino?! Yes Quentin Tarantino, the director of the Eight? Yes The Hateful one? Yes

[@HarryMbise1]

The way John tells it

[@the_shah_of_iran]

John Ruth, I hate to be the one to break to ya.

[@Rayvis79]

Walton stole the movie! He was robbed of an Oscar nomination!

[@Neodreth]

His reading of the Lincoln letter was my favorite scene in the whole movie, his delivery was so good that made the perfect ending.

[@craighicksartwork]

Such a beautiful guy. And what an actor. Shane Vendrell still keeps me up at night.

[@Krygeryo]

+Craig Hicks Lem I'm sorry!

[@Zombiesnyder13]

This guy deserves an Oscar. He was so charismatic playing his character

[@austinsuarez8005]

"Well I'll be double dog damned"-- Chris Mannix.

[@odotb9916]

Cut my legs off and call me 'Shorty'!

[@SolidMikeP]

HE FUCKING KILLED THIS ROLE! Became a super fan after this film

[@LucianDCR117]

To be fair “No one will ever know the answer” is the perfect A tier actor answer. Prefect!

[@Dreamw4lk3r]

Man, the way Goggins closes the interview is so respectful! Clearly shows what an absolute gent he is.

[@kaydash3868]

"well ain't love grand! y'all wanna lie on the ground and make snow angel together?"

[@vdmur7952]

Loved his role. Really enjoyed the arch where he became more and more acquainted and more friend-like with the major.

[@lNeVaR]

He outclassed everyone in this movie

[@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

I hope he gets nominated for academy awards. Absolutely masterpiece of performance

[@anitamarie9056]

He was absolutely hilarious!!! Period!!! Excellent job !!!

[@mynameisinigomontoya8179]

No no no no no! Y'all got me talkin politics!

[@BabyBloodheart]

Goggins is so talented, and handsome. A little over three weeks to wait until I get to see this film, can't wait!

[@zpacer88]

this was a great interview, the way Walton layed out how his character developed was exactly how i experienced it watching him on screen and im not sure why it stood out to me like it did watching the interview. Perhaps because often when actors talk about their character the don't match up to my viewing experience to the T or something idk haven't really thought about it till now. Never noticed it till i came across an example maybe that was so well matched.

[@NeverSaySandwich1]

This guy was fantastic in Hateful Eight, he was such a surprise and my favorite character. Anyone who takes my favorite character away from Kurt Russell deserves an award.

[@Mercurychyld1]

I love this guy. I JUST learned his name, but I’ve been a fan for a while now. Loved him on ‘Justified’, with the also great Timothy Olyphant. ☺️♥️🌹

[@funkyreapercat5280]

You should watch "The Shield", Walton is brilliant there!

[@televisiontrekkie3802]

He said it perfectly with no spoilers. Damn.

[@paulbeen459]

Seriously... I'm so happy for this dude. He's done such a fantastic work on The Shield, I was really disappointed not to see him more in films or in tv shows. And now? A secondary character in Django Unchained and a main character in HateFul eight? GG well played Walton Goggins.

[@NgigiEric]

This dude killed it on Hateful 8, I loved every piece of that film but more so Walton’s character, maan dude you killed it

[@analissablackwater558]

I love his answer about the best gift he can give his son. I loved him in The Shield, SOA and more and can’t wait to start watching The Unicorn.

[@hypemugen]

the sheriff of red rock was the best part about this interview. I am amazed of how Tarantino deals with the cast.

[@samwill226]

Everything Goggins does is great. Justified, The Shield, Gemstones, etc. He's literally one of the best actors of our time.

[@Retrostar619]

What a lovely chap. Great performance in the movie too.

[@godcandidate9065]

😂 😂 😂 😂 He killed it broooo.... I wish he spoke like that for real

[@gavinmasterson3256]

He should have got an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, along with everyone else in this film that brought their A-game to this powerful and striking Tarantino masterpiece. I have so much more respect for this man as an actor than ever before and hope he continues to do great work like he's doing now with Danny McBride in Vice Principals. He's one of those wacky talents like Jack Nicholson that should not go unnoticed, and I'm glad Tarantino picked him for this movie, because it is true that when Tarantino hires you; it's because he truly does see something in you. And i sure as shit saw it in this movie which is without a doubt my new favorite Tarantino flick next to Pulp Fiction, as it really showed the nature of man, and how fucked up people can be and were in that time period. Best damn Tarantino film to date and can't wait to see what he comes up with next as the man clearly just keeps on impressing with his absolute love for movies.

[@BlvkColossus]

One of my favorite character actors

[@speedracer2336]

Big fan of Walton. Born and raised in the South!

[@syazwanazemi2201]

Goddamnnn! This guy is such a genius. The way he talk remind me of Dr King Shultz. Fucking brilliant this Walton Goggins.

[@joeanncrazyforbling4736]

Love this actor. He fascinating at best.

[@RZAJW]

favorite character in this movie

[@Meh2752]

He killed it in this movie, probably my 3rd favorite, just behind sam and kurt

[@QperG]

Amazing actor

[@billbrooks9088]

Very underated movie!!!!

[@sebastiansfeci1305]

damn this guy gave some great answers

[@pratimalala2810]

i didnt know this actor. he is awsum. hes up there like mads mikkelsen . brilliant

[@BlueBird14095]

This is a great interview.

[@stinianshiznit04]

This guy's character makes the movie! He and Samuel L Jackson deliver for sure.

[@benksy96]

best actor in the movie

[@stevegant7856]

Mannix was telling the truth, of course he's the sheriff of Red rock. Mannix might be a rebel rouser, but he's no liar! My favorite character in this movie. " Well chop my legs off and call me shorty, is that General Sanford Smithers I see?" A great actor working with the legend Bruce Dern!

[@anigah]

I don't know why I was put off by Justified because i'd see him in the trailers.. didn't notice him in Django, but boy oh boy did he deliver in The Hateful Eight.. he was simply the best... watched Django again and he did a great job.. I can't believe I didn't notice it.. I'm gonna watch Justified because of him.

[@Krygeryo]

+Atom Man Watch 'The Shield' It's a really really good show and Walton is one of the leads.

[@通り過ぎる行列]

we dug coal together.

[@zappadoo13579]

Just finished justified in like 2weeks never saw it before but I highly recommend it

[@peaceindarkness.darknessis3494]

Boyd crowder is the best

[@gabrielhamburger8823]

THE BEST MOVIE I EVER SEE IN MY LOW LIFE!!!! GRETTINGS FROM ROMANIA and YESWalton Goggins!!! My favorite actor!!! LOVE YA MAN!!!

[@suat365]

JJL Walton and kurt russel are the best performances in the movie

[@lifewithty4480]

“WELL CUT MY LEGS OFF AND CALL ME SHORTIE”

[@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs]

His legendary performance in this movie is what has me so excited to see his character in Fallout

[@marthanevares9294]

mtooo fofo... lindo, maravilhoso em sua atuação em JUSTIFIED... amei cada cena em q interpretava... com muita garra e ótima interpretação !!!

[@rudy_sevenonefour]

He was probably my favorite character in H8FUL 8

[@samuela9245]

Next level movie. Dude was Awesome in it

[@Stoerepielie]

A movie set in the late 1800.. You know Walton is going to kick ass

[@carpediem4887]

I dont care what anyone says... Walton Goggins has the BEST delivery of any actor Ive seen! Also Dannie McBride is way up there also...The series Vice Principals is a must watch if you havent seen it

[@sebastianalegria3401]

I remember bursting to laugh, while seeing the movie because of the Lincoln letter scene, which was the funniest scene of the movie.

[@comfycozygamer3892]

Brilliant

[@aubreypressley9972]

When I first saw Chris Mannix I didn't like him. The acting was brilliant he made me laugh but he was a racist that bugged me by the end of this movie he was my favorite character. only Tarantino could do that.

[@Bluemgwes]

And it's because of that, it was a very nice arc to see for both him and Marquis Warren to forget all of that to team up in the end.

[@JnEricsonx]

I loved how in the end he was, "well, I hate this black guy, but I'm a man of the law, and that comes first."

[@defmore5099]

maybe he was, maybe he wasn't

[@blakeharris58]

He was a racist war veteran. Perfect cop.

[@1herbiekritzer]

Great movie

[@fredricclack7137]

1ofmy FAVS; & fav westerns- which 👁hate!

[@maxalfredjoelasemoule3993]

j'adore ce mec et ses personnages ds les films de QT

[@danmaltby3271]

He was awesome in H8, I love the way Tarantino hints at how our country can heal itself from this quagmire of racism and reverse racism. At the beginning of the movie John Ruth says to Maj Warren “ one things for sure you aren’t partnering up with this black hating southerner”. But that is exactly what happens, in the Warren /Mannix relationship we see a black guy who hates whites and a white guy hating Blacks form a bond, because of a personal code. Samuel L Jackson and Walton Goggins both deserved an Oscar nomination. Tarantino really did something with the H8, he made a western that stands up there with the good bad and the ugly, high plans drifter, outlaw Joey wales.

[@JnEricsonx]

That's true, I just always figured it in part was Chris going, "I don't like this black guy, but I'm gonna do my job as a officer of the law-that takes priority."

[@blakeharris58]

Mannix was absolutely the Sheriff of Red Rock. He had brilliant deductive skills. He was a great judge of character. He was a racist war veteran. All components of the perfect American police officer.

[@stanky9875]

If Goggins doesn't win an Academy Award before I die, I'll feel cheated as a movie lover. He's a badass.

[@JamesBrown-rn1om]

"Maj. N***a! Gen. Smitters wishes me to in inform you!" Ha!

[@jessemockler616]

Never heard any one desribe QT's dialogue better than he just did.

[@robertmoore1123]

The first time I saw him act he was in soa

[@rahjeel]

Probably the best character arc I've seen in 2015 besides Warboy Nux from Mad Max Fury Road. Chris Mannix started as this racist annoying moron into probably the best character besides Sam Jackson's Major Warren.

[@SpaceCadet1]

+Adrian Gofredo Great comparison! Though I do feel that Nicholas Hoult's character arc in Mad Max was somewhat more fulfilling. That said, Goggins did practically steal the show from Sam Jackson and Jennifer Jason Leigh, amazing stuff!

[@zappadoo13579]

Walton Goggins stole every scene, Jackson can't touch him in this film

[@genuinesaucy]

I think Mannix was telling the truth about being the new sheriff. If it was a lie, why would he still be keeping up the charade in the second half of the movie after shit goes south, even at the end when he knew he probably wasn't going to survive?

[@roylim9052]

"please let me send this ugly son of a btch to hell" 😂 he had the most fun lines in the movie

[@virkill3408]

an authentic american sherriff !!!!

[@EmreAras07]

The Presideeeent!

[@KennethZeigler-r6c]

I wanna know if he was the sheriff 😅

[@pandorin2348]

I personally think he was. Since his father was an army general. He probably got connections to get that job position

[@TJ-fe7rr]

I reckon he was as well

[@chirmchirm]

Pity they spelt my name wrong!

[@razzor8246]

+Kris Mannix lol

[@vVVest_]

Chris Mannix sheriff of red rock makes me what to horse laugh

[@nerminpeh3272]

for me, he will always be Shane Vendrell

[@xdhalis]

Is he young Jack Nicholson?

[@loayprettyboy206]

My second favorite character after Samuel Jackson Pretty good

[@lionwrath78]

His hatred towards joe gage was hillarious

[@williamwong1982]

Please cast him as Charles Manson in Once upon a time in Hollywood.

[@2taggs2]

Hated him in 'Django Unchained' (him not the character) - so I was displeased when I learned he would be in 'The Hateful Eight' - I was wrong; he did a fabulous job as "Sheriff Chris Mannix"

[@teeoh9192]

I never saw "Justified". My first experience watching hum, was as the transgender person in "Sons of Anarchy". I thought at the time, "Wow. Their hiring REAL transgender people on this show." So, imagine my surprise, when I found out that "she", was a HE, in real life! I IMMEDIATELY Googled the rest of his stuff, and have been hooked on seeing his work ever since.

[@zappadoo13579]

Thomas Wiilde SOA went downhill hard after se3 but after i found out Walton Goggins played the trans which I wasn't aware of when I was watching the show I about shit myself at how well he executed that role in soa

[@chuckfinley4292]

She was always a he regardless

[@THEMAJORLEVEL]

Abraham LANKON!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@lianneroderick7454]

Abraham Lincoln?, the President? of united states? of America? lol

[@angelcitygirl]

Whether he was the Sheriff of Red Rock was absolutely not the point. It got him on the carriage but at the end he wasn't working with Daisy -so he was a good guy. Whether he was the sheriff? Who cares.

[@oliviatraut7510]

Он там подцепил пневмнию и провалился месяц в госпитале .😁💔

[@jimjones9642]

He stole the show in my opinion,🤷

[@oliviatraut7510]

Пневмонию провалялся . 😆

[@Goochbot]

He stole the movie lol

[@ImYourHuckleberry_29]

I do think Tarantino is very overrated other than R Dogs and P Fiction but Walton Goggins feels like the guy he'd want in his films. Just made me realize Walton is this century's Timothy Carey.

[@marycreese2693]

love Walt.....enough about quentin, hes not that great

[@kennyanderson3264]

I have stated I would never watch another Tarantino movie, because he's a moron. However, my admiration for Walton's abilities will weigh out my disgust for QT. I need to see WG's work in everything he's done.

[@mynameisinigomontoya8179]

His character arc was incredible. Going from a stauchly racist confederate to putting his honor as a sheriff to look past that racism to help the very person youd think hed never help to see justice through. A very flawed character but one with alot of charm.

[@jeffmansur8875]

Chris was great

[@Araloulou]

VENUS!!
