Cooper Howard, better known as the Ghoul, is a fictional character from the sci-fi Western television series Fallout, itself based the franchise of role-playing games of the same name. He is portrayed by American actor Walton Goggins.
The character is a member of a race of post-human beings called "ghouls", humans whose appearances were greatly disfigured by radiation following an apocalyptic nuclear exchange. The Ghoul is a bounty hunter wandering the post-apocalyptic wasteland who comes into conflict with Lucy MacLean over the course of the show. Extensive flashbacks also depict his past as Cooper Howard, a Hollywood actor and spokesman for Vault-Tec in the year 2077.
The Ghoul has received acclaim from both critics and audiences, with praise directed towards his characterization, visual design, and Goggins' performance. In 2024, Goggins was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in Fallout.[1]
