Walton Goggins had never played Fallout before he was cast in the TV adaptation – and didn't want to even after the fact.
"I never played the game. So when this kind of came my way, I didn't want to play it 'cause I didn't want to be influenced by whatever version of the Ghoul is in the games. I also knew that what Jonathan and Graham and Geneva, our writers, what they were attempting to do," Goggins tells GamesRadar+. "What they were asked to do was not to recreate a season or an issue, I suppose of Fallout the game, but to introduce a new story that would fit seamlessly into the canon that is Fallout."
