In a surprise twist during the latest episode of Prime Video’s “Fallout” season 2, actor Jon Gries made a memorable appearance, reuniting with Walton Goggins, his co-star from “The White Lotus.” Gries, who plays Biff—a soldier struggling with the New California Republic—joins Goggins, who returns as the character Ghoul. Their encounter takes place in episode three, where they share brief but significant moments amid the apocalyptic chaos.
Gries, now 68, was enthusiastically welcomed into the “Fallout” universe, with Goggins noting that he was the perfect fit for the character. Goggins explained to PEOPLE that he has known Gries for an extended period and felt strongly that his friend was ideally suited for the role. Additionally, showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet praised Gries’ authenticity and warmth, emphasizing that his inherently empathetic nature made him an excellent choice for the role of Biff.
The episode unfolds as Ghoul meets Biff at an abandoned outpost, where Biff shares that they have been out of contact with the NCR for over a decade. While their interaction is fleeting, it resonates with fans who appreciate the chemistry between the two actors, built from their previous collaboration on HBO’s acclaimed series.
As filming for “Fallout” season 2 came after “The White Lotus,” Goggins relished the time spent with Gries. He humorously noted the different tone on set while still reminiscing about their shared experiences shooting in Thailand.
Looking ahead, Goggins hinted at the evolving relationship between the Ghoul and Lucy, played by Ella Purnell, promising a compelling narrative as they continue their journey through a dystopian landscape.
With new episodes of “Fallout” airing every Wednesday until the season finale in February 2026, fans can expect more thrilling developments as the post-apocalyptic adventure unfolds. The addition of Gries enhances the series further, reinforcing its commitment to character-driven storytelling.
