Walton Goggins has time to play sexy DILFs on Saturday Night Live and the Grinch in Walmart's Black Friday ad, but not sit down and mess around with VATs in one of the games his hit Fallout TV show is based on. Not only has Goggins never played a Fallout game in the past. He doesn't plan to do so in the future either. I don't blame him, either. It's just really funny how emphatic he is about it.
Merry Christmas! But sorry, I think you must have been bad because all I have to offer you is this new Walmart commercial starring Walton Goggins, aka the Ghoul from Amazon's Fallout series, in a crass attempt to cash in on millennial nostalgia for that Jim Carrey Grinch movie. Yup, Walton Goggins took what I assume was a sizeable paycheck to star in a new, very expensive-looking Walmart ad
Walmart's Dr. Seuss-themed holiday marketing is getting a boost from the Grinch as the effort enters its second phase ahead of Black Friday, per details shared with Marketing Dive. The big-box store previously teased appearances from the infamous green grump, and on Monday announced Walton Goggins will be filling his shoes for the "WhoKnewVille" campaign. Goggins, who makes his on-screen debut as the Grinch in a new social video, previously led spots launching Walmart's larger "Who Knew?" platform focused on changing perceptions of the retailer.
