Walton Goggins may not be A-list (yet), but his impressive resume has made his face and million dollar smile as recognizable as Hollywood’s top-billed stars. Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, the actor took a bet on himself when he moved to Los Angeles, and he’s been rewarded with a lengthy career as one of the industry’s most sought-after character actors.
