    It’s crazy how little mentions The Shield has gotte with the Goggasiance we’re experiencing right now. Goggins stared in one of the best crime shows OAT that once held the most viewed episode on air (beat only by Breaking Bad several years later) and… nobody talks about it lol

    Hes about my favorite contempoarary actor, I will watch ANYTHING he is in.

    Which is why I watched that godawful dramedy sit-com nonsense he had for a couple of seasons. I don’t even remember the name, and I cant even be bothered to Google it. I get it, he wanted to nail a hit TV series for 5 or 6 seasons, and collect fat royalty checks for the rest of his life, but that show was a dog, from start to finish. A huge waste of his prodigious talents.

    I’m still a fan, though. My favorite of his roles might be the foppish vice principle on Vice Principals. He was hilarious in it, and I loved when he’d argue with his mother-in-law in Korean. I always wondered if he was hollering real Korean, or just making it up. I suspect it was real.

      The Unicorn?

      It was an interesting show to see so many actors just being normal people at a table.

      For example, I’d never seen Jason Mantzoukas not being zany before.

      But the show itself was just bland.

        Was that what it was called? Bland is a good word for it, even the title was bland. No wonder I forgot it so badly, that even when you said it, I didn’t remember it.

          I just remember it from the premise. A good dad who was widowed, and as such is not a divorcee with toxic attachments. The almost impossible to find guy, a unicorn.

          The premise is slightly toxic itself and not that interesting. As I recall, my wife liked it.

      My wife made me watch that scene last night as I do love me some Walton Goggins, but she didn’t realize I also love me some Sam Rockwell!
