I say this all the time, but I have to say it again. Walken is a national treasure! I love everything he does. He's always so interesting to watch! And oh wow! LOVED the dancing in the Weapon of Choice video!
Looking at this and seeing the other comments prior, I only have one thing to add...Christopher Walken has such an elevated humor. He displays complete grace. This clip makes that more apparent than anything.
The power of Chris Walken is just as much ownership of the dialog,.....as the long well timed pauses in between. Honestly, if he just sat at looked at the audience intensely, it would say a lot.
He was AMAZING in Pennies From Heaven! I wished I had discovered it sooner. He has the classiness & effortlessness of Fred Astaire, the charm & athleticism of Gene Kelly & the defiant cool of Samuel L. Jackson! What a package!!
Also miss the "old Ellen" show before she became too big and controlling. She began insulting her guest and interviewing became more about being her. She forgot how to be real.
So fun to see so many comments saying how awesome this dude is!! Guess I'll add my bit: he's such a cool dude, an interesting dude and very admirable!😇 Love him in The Prophecy 😍😙😘!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was always a fan of his after I saw catch me if you can, the yankees and the pinstripes line was so clever and his new york accent is one of the best. Whats crazy is it seems like he's the same character he is in movies in real life lol I feel like I'm watching frank white play christopher walken. He can play almost any type of character too, his acting skills are top notch.
LOVE C.WALKEN! He is interesting, intelligent, skilled, incredibly gifted, charming, naturally Funny, & child-like innocence all at once. LOVE THIS MAN!
I love anything Christopher Walken does...I try to see it allllll....I don't care if it's a commercial & I'll even watch that...from the time he played in "Necked City"(I think)can't remember the name....however I remember him!!!!❤💖💝
Happy Birthday Rosalee! I hope it was a good one, for you and your son. I started out as a child model, and finished that amazing career buy ending the incredible sum of one Ted.E. Bear! It lasted for two walked don the runway. By the way, it was a great line for a great movie!
I think that the combination of his down to earth warmth and intelligent understated humour, plus his own unique style, makes him compelling and loved by many. And man, seeing that clip just now is a great reminder of what a truly great actor he is.
I would absolutely plan a way more respectful and interesting interview which would allow people to learn from him and honour his career Its Christopher Walken for god´s sake.
I do so like Christopher Walken. First time I ever saw him was in Deerhunter and I noticed his gracefulness then. I really love his Fat Boy Slim dance.
Haha, he is damn funny :) "I allready gave her enough". Amazing actor, he is a living legend. He also one of the realest actors, just being his natural self. Also his talking and accents over the years is highly amusing!
I think many people agree with me that Christopher Walken is a brilliant actor. He is great in dramatic rolls and few actors can do terrifying characters as good as he does. At the same time he is really funny. Even by just being himself. His SNL sketches are the best. E: Do you know the clip that you have? (she thinks Walken will explain the clip!) W: I think so. (silence!) LOL
Why the Ellen hate people, she's like the sweetest talk show host in America?? Anyway Custer Flux, I agree with you....he's not outgoing...which is fine, lol!
If you really read him well, he is not like all other actors and his edgyness ending him in these sorts of roles. He admits to being a homebody when not working and maybe "cabin fever" put him over the edge so hes slightly unhinged just enough to play these parts haha so well but he is totally a great smart guy very down to earth and modest. Hopkins is also quiet and says hes not much of a family/crowd maybe? person and has a great subtle air about him and does brilliant work without all the fan fare.
Christopher Walken is awesome. I wish interviewers like Ellen DeGeneres and Larry King would actually have the courtesy to let their guests actually answer the questions they're asked in their entirety. I understand that they (Ellen & Larry) as interviewers have to get to certain points in the interviews before commercial breaks, but geez. As for the impressions of him, though they're exaggerated somewhat, he does have a distinct voice and speaking pattern, especially the brief pauses.
It's truly amazing that Ellen wouldn't know that about him, he's known for his dancing, he's very expressive too. Ellen Shame on you, you don't do that crap to Christopher. He's a legend, I really can't believe the disrespect you gave him. Grow up!! It's not all about you, you come nowhere close to Christopher's, talents.
