Walton Gogginshas impressed viewers withhis performance as The Ghoul / Cooper Howard, a mutated gunslinger inFallout. In the series, Goggins’s ghoulish appearance is marked by the absence of a nose. However, fans will be surprised to learn that the realistic appearance of The Ghoul’s look was created using CGI.
During an interview withTVLine, Goggins was asked about how it was to act with prosthetics on his face that hid his nose during his screen appearance. However, Goggins explained that the prosthetics applied on his face actually did not alter his nose, which was digitally removed during post-production.
“It was fine for me because I had a nose while we were filming it and the the prosthetic pieces came to a point where they created this triangle right and then they put these white dots over my nose so that they could take it out in post.”
