Walton Goggins has dominated HBO this season with standout performances in 'The White Lotus' and 'The Righteous Gemstones.' His role as Baby Billy allows for significant creative freedom and comedic flair, as he navigates absurdity and drama. Despite 'The Righteous Gemstones' struggling in certain areas, Goggins thrives, bringing levity and joy through his well-crafted performance. His character's antics, like casting himself as teenage Jesus, allow him to run wild with the material, resulting in memorable moments that even break through the serious tones of the show.
There's a moment in the episode, too, where Goggins is so funny that he seems to get a genuine laugh out of John Goodman the actor rather than Eli Gemstone the character.
Baby Billy has resembled one of the Movie Brats icons of the 1970s, who were like inmates running the asylum, bending major studios to their will.
