These days, Walton Goggins might be known as The Ghoul in Fallout, but long before that, he was Detective Shane Vendrell in the FX crime drama The Shield, which aired from 2002 to 2008. Now, Goggins reveals that thanks to the September 11 attacks in 2001, the series almost never made its way to viewers. Debuting on March 12, 2002, The Shield is widely regarded as one of the best police shows ever, taking home 11 awards during the course of its illustrious run.
