The “Fallout” franchise of games are set in a version of reality where the Cold War and nuclear fears of the 1940s come to a head, leading to an all-out nuclear event in 2077. In order to survive, the remainder of humanity hides in underground fallout shelters, emerging at different points after the final battle to try and rebuild civilization. Post-apocalyptic stories are a dime a dozen, but “Fallout” were some of the earliest high-profile video games to explore the sub-genre, and they’re a lot of fun with some truly unique characters and settings to pull from.

While Goggins is rugged and good-looking, I’m sure a bit of makeup can transform the versatile actor into a proper ghoul in no time. Many of the ghouls in “Fallout” are bitter, angry survivors with gravelly voices and a dark sense of humor, which certainly fits Goggins’ character oeuvre. He’s played a little bit of everything, and has a resume that includes roles on “The Shield,” “Sons of Anarchy,” “The Unicorn,” “The Hateful Eight,” and “Lincoln,” to name just a few.
