One of the small screen's most underrated actors during the last decade despite memorable stints in The Shield, Justified and Sons of Anarchy, Walton Goggins is still searching for that breakout movie role to take his career to the next level. A firm favorite of both Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, the 45 year-old is still to get the opportunity to do his best work on the big screen.

As corrupt cop Shane Vendrell and charismatic outlaw Boyd Crowder respectively, Goggins has shown a knack for portraying characters that are capable of murder, blackmail, extortion, torture and many other things in between, but elevated them well above one-dimensional villainy with his performance.

Cletus Kasady has no redeeming features whatsoever but is hardly a dull character, and an actor that has made a living out of playing charismatic bad guys would know that. Taking on the role would have to make sure audiences know this guy is a psycho and a murderer without losing the audience's interest in a character they could never identify with.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
