"We filmed that day the morning after the premiere of The White Lotus; I had about three hours of sleep. I just had nothing left in the tank; it was exactly where I needed to be for that day,"
"I was depleted after White Lotus, as anyone on that journey was. I had the good fortune of going straight to The Righteous Gemstones; it's not easy being Baby Billy, and I left that just crawling across the finish line to arrive here,"
"And in some ways, I think it's the best thing that could happen to me, because then I was just splayed open emotionally. That's what was required of both Cooper Howard and The Ghoul this season."
Walton Goggins experienced severe exhaustion after completing The White Lotus and then The Righteous Gemstones, arriving on Fallout set with minimal sleep. That physical and emotional depletion aligned with his character Cooper Howard’s moments of having “nothing left,” enhancing the authenticity of those scenes. The drained state persisted through much of Season 2, contributing to a raw, exposed performance required for both Cooper Howard and The Ghoul. Goggins also carried real-life shame about being away from his child into certain scenes, which produced unexpected emotional releases during filming and affected the on-set atmosphere.
