Walton Goggins as Billy Crash in Django Unchained

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Walton Goggins shares what his surreal experience was like auditioning for Quentin Tarantino to star in Django Unchained. Released in 2012, Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as the titular Django, following the escaped slave as he embarks on a mission to rescue his wife from a brutal plantation owner. The film, which was a critical and commercial hit, sees Goggins starring as Billy Crash, a central antagonist.

“At the end of this dinner with this friend, he said, ‘You know the script. Pick one of these four or five roles, whatever speaks to you, and come in next week.’ I said, ‘Okay, great.’ And I read it again and again and again and again, and I came in with these four roles… And I did these four roles. He said, ‘That was fantastic, man. Is there one you kind of gravitate to more than the other?’

“And he sat there with me in that room for another 45 minutes, maybe an hour, and we just read through his script. And I read Sam’s role and he read every other role as if he was filming it. And I read Leo’s role and he read every other role as if we were filming it, and it was one of the greatest days of my life as an artist.

Walton Goggins' & Quentin Tarantino's Working Relationship Explained The Pair Reunited For A 2015 Western Goggins was already a successful actor before starring in Django Unchained, but the film, which has an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes, certainly showed just what the actor was capable of. While Leonardo DiCaprio's Calvin Candie is the real villain of the story, Goggins plays a truly reprehensible character.
