All of his films formed my early introduction to cinema and comedy.

As Goggins explains, seeing Murray on set came after a slow buildup.

I remember seeing him walk up, and it was so overwhelming for me.

It was my nature to hide.

I walked into my trailer, and I thought Id hid out long enough.

I didnt hear him, and I walked out and he was standing right there.

Goggins continues: It was like, Oh f, f!

Much to my surprise, he just said, Walton, hey, Im a big fan.

Ive been following you sinceThe Shieldand I really like your work.

He was just gracious and kind.

I mean he didnt have to say that at all.

Whether he meant it or not, I dont know.

They jurys still out!

Maybe he just looked at IMDb or something, I dont know.
