Walton Goggins about “The three Christs” and some private secrets!
What is the most incriminating or actionable secret do you have?
Walton Goggins: Oh, god. Well, I spent 12 hours in jail for drinking underage!
Did you remember what were you drinking?
Walton Goggins: I think it must have been Two Fingers Tequila. And that's about as horrible and bad as you can get. I don't know if it was specifically a southern thing, but if you sniffed it you got alcohol poisoning….
A new film that has come out called “Three Christs”. The synopsis on Wikipedia is telling that it is not about a buddy comedy about three cloned Jesuses. What is a movie about?
Walton Goggins: That was a joke that Peter (Dinklage), Bradley (Whitford) and I had, about the “Three Christs” Detective Agency. We definitely pitched that to each other and we agreed it'd make for a great ongoing series.
Would the Jesuses be investigating crimes in modern times, or like during Biblical times?
Walton Goggins: Well, I think you could do it at any time! But our take on it was, it would be taking place in the modern-day. It started with a fish tank and communicating with fish.
Your filmography contains very few straight-up horror movies, are you interested in such projects?
Walton Goggins: Right now that is something I'm actively looking to do. I have not done many horror movies, and “House of 1000 Corpses” was twenty years ago. I'm looking for a very smart project within that genre, maybe even something bordering on the avant-garde. I really do want to do that!
You've played some of the most iconic TV characters of all time, some of them for years at a time! Which one of them do you find yourself thinking about the most?
Walton Goggins: Well, they all come back and forth, but I do talk like them months before I start playing them - and I drive my family fuckin' bananas with that - and I'll talk like them for a long stretch afterward. And then I'll go into any one of them on any given day, depending on the scenario, but the two that still bring a smile to my face are [Vice Principals'] Lee Russell and [Justified's] Boyd Crowder. I like to play Lee Russell and Boyd Crowder having an argument. It's pretty funny. I can't do it for you right now, but when I do it, that's a good day.
