Boyd tends to make some wild decisions, but Goggins claimed Boyd tends to be a victim of circumstance.
"I don't see Boyd as an inherently bad person. I see him as a person who does bad things. We're talking in this specific fictional world, not in the world in which we live, because I would judge him very differently if he were my neighbor. I see him, in this world, as a person who's a victim of his circumstances, a product of his environment," Goggins explained.
"He was raised in a very violent environment. That's the world he knows. This is not about a guy who wants to stay a criminal. For three or four years now, for all the changes Boyd has gone through, he has reached a place where he has found redemption and love," the actor said of his character.
"But that's not enough, and he wants to be in love and a respected member of the community; he wants to give back, he wants to be an upstanding entrepreneur, someone who is a pillar of the community. But for someone as violent as Boyd, he doesn't do it the way you or I would do it, through starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top. He's a person who just wants to take it," Goggins shared.
In Tuesday's episode fans of the show got to see a side of Boyd that doesn't get shown frequently; his apparent fear since he could have died in the mine.
"[T]his is the scariest moment he's ever experienced in his life," Goggins said of Boyd ending up in the mine.
The actor also dished that Boyd "is a man at the end of his rope" and things will get "very, very complicated" in the next episode.
Justified is airing now on FX at 10 p.m. ET on Tuesdays.
