Join star Walton Goggins for a behind-the-scenes look at Fallout and how the actor transforms into The Ghoul from the TV series adaptation of the video game franchise. All episodes of Fallout are now available on Prime Video.
Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.
The series comes from Kilter Films and executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Nolan directed the first three episodes. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, writers, and co-showrunners.
Fallout stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets), Aaron Moten (Emancipation) and Walton Goggins (The Hateful Eight). Athena Wickham of Kilter Films also executive produces, along with Todd Howard for Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks. Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films produce in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
The series cast includes Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Sarita Choudhury (Homeland), Michael Emerson (Person of Interest), Leslie Uggams (Deadpool), Frances Turner (The Boys), Dave Register (Heightened), Zach Cherry (Severance), Johnny Pemberton (Ant-Man), Rodrigo Luzzi (Dead Ringers), Annabel O'Hagan (Law & Order: SVU), and Xelia Mendes-Jones (The Wheel of Time).

00:00 What are you?
00:02 Oh, I'm you, sweetie.
00:04 You just give it a little time.
00:07 I'm Walton Goggins, and I play two drastically different characters in the Prime series, Fallout.
00:13 The story takes place 200 years after a nuclear war.
00:18 The ghoul is a bridge between the world before the nuclear fallout and this world that we find ourselves in.
00:25 There is someone that the ghoul is living for. There is hope that's keeping him alive.
00:37 He has succumbed to the things that one needs to stay alive in a world where it's kill or be killed.
00:44 Yep, it's me, Cooper Howard, star of Stage and Screen.
00:47 Cooper Howard was a western movie star. He's kind, he's gentle, he's a good father.
00:52 One may think that they're two different people, but they're actually the same, just 200 years apart.
00:58 How long since you first started waistlining?
01:02 A long, long time.
01:04 Jake Garber is one of the best special effects makeup artists in the world.
01:08 I love doing character makeups, and I do kind of look at this as something along those lines.
01:14 The makeup was thin enough that you could still see all of the expressiveness of his performance,
01:19 but also textured real enough to capture the look and feeling of the ghoul.
01:23 Walt completely embodies the character, and it can be pretty terrifying working opposite him.
01:29 Well now that is a very small drop in a very, very large bucket of drugs.
01:35 Cooper Howard is representative in some ways of the best that America has to offer.
01:42 The ghoul has been shaped by the things that he's seen that human beings are capable of.
01:48 When you watch the story, you will understand the pain that Cooper Howard,
01:52 ultimately the ghoul, has been carrying for 200 years.
01:56 He is a survivor.
