January 16th, 2013
Based on the works of crime novelist
Elmore Leonard and developed for television by showrunner
Graham Yost, the FX drama series
Justified is back for Season 4. This time around, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (
Timothy Olyphant) will start to unravel the mystery of a more than 30-year-old cold case that connects back to his criminal father’s (
Raymond J. Barry) bad dealings, while Boyd Crowder (
Walton Goggins) finds his grip on Harlan County loosening due to a preacher (
Joe Mazzello) with a talent for manipulation that rivals his own. The show also stars
Nick Searcy, Jacob Pitts, Erica Tazel and
Joelle Carter.
During this recent exclusive interview with Collider, actor
Walton Goggins talked about where Boyd’s head is at this season, getting to play his character’s sense of humor a bit more, if being a crime boss is more than he bargained for, how much of a thorn in Boyd’s side Preacher Billy will be, what
Ron Eldard is bringing to the show this season, how actively involved he is with the show and character development, that his approach, as an actor, is different with each season, and how grateful he is to be on such a quality show. He also talked about his very memorable guest spot as Venus Van Dam on
Sons of Anarchy, and the possibility of the character returning, looking for roles that he feels he can bring something to that will enhance the writer or director’s vision, and that fans love to chat with him about his work...

Collider: Boyd Crowder got lucky, not having to go to prison at the end of last season. Where is his head at, this season?
WALTON GOGGINS: "
For a fellow like Boyd, he understands that there’s going to be a price to be paid for eating this dinner, and for living this life. At the end of last season, he thought that his time had come. For him, it had just come a little too early because he wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the love of his life (Ava Crowder). And as fate would have it, gratefully for this couple, he was spared at the last minute and someone else took the blame for it. So this season, I think he’s working very, very hard to get his ducks in a row, for a very specific reason. I won’t tell you what that reason is, but it will be revealed, over the course of the show. Boyd has an endgame, and I think it’s worthy of working as hard as he’s working..."
Justified season four airs Tuesday at 10/9C on FX.
