As Nick in the Russian Roulette scene Christopher Walken gave one of the greatest acting performances of all time.His portrayal of a soldier facing imminent death was magnificent !!!
Love Walken, possibly the only actor scarier to look at in real life than he is in the movies! I wish everyone had his easygoing attitude and the world would be a much better place.
Christopher Walken is truly one of a kind. Who else could sit and answer questions about himself from Henry Rollins for 10 minutes straight and somehow leave you knowing less about who he really is as a person then you did before the interview? Is this ability somehow related to his great talent as a character actor?
Wars are started by governments, but are fought by soldiers, its our reasons that the war is lost or won, I never thought that the fighting I did was stupid
He doesn't like to do interviews... He has admitted that before....that he does get nervous... A little unsure of himself...which we cant really digest can we ?LOL
ooh cracked him just a little bit with the war thing. i don't think i've ever seen chris talk even nearly so seriously about anything else in an interview... nice.
4:00 Isn't he adorable?? Love his little laugh and I also agree with him about war...there is just no reason, even more when it's something material for people to die...just thinking about their crying families convinces me
Me, too. When I saw him in the movie theater with The Deerhunter...I was mesmerized by him. When the film was over....I could not get out of me seat for a few minutes.
That was a cool response he gave to that set of questions, but in a way it was completely evasive. He side-stepped the entire question of a "justified war" ...
able to walk in a room and tell who knows. damn i like that idea. some people go to the airport and "choose their nemesis" lol, for shits and giggles, im taking notes on the "ask whoever knows" idea lol walken's got a lot of great ones.
@mrmilkmanband @ohsnapitsme59 this interview was cut up so much... Henry is nervous and also holding back the laughter at how freaky Walkens is... Search (I'm sure you've seen this Mr Milk) "Henry Rollins on Christopher Walken" uploaded by GermanCityGirl...
Bored would be a better way to describe it. I'm not angry, not in the least. In fact, I was actually saying "Served" as a way of applauding what you said as I found it amusing and insightful as well as "Pwning" the discussion.
Christopher Walken is such a great guy. He loves being on this show and talking with him. He's always a great guest. He doesn't seem like an ass or a prick. Anyone seen Harrison Ford on the Conan O'Brian show recently? He was pissy.. bitchy.. and just a piss-poor guest. He got mad at Conan. He was in a terrible mood. Lousy person. Christopher Walken? I'd love to run into the guy somewhere and have a chat with him about War. Maybe, Depleted Uranium, New World Order, Illuminati. He is Informed!
SAVE US! oh please Henry. I am sick of CELEBUTARDS commenting on how "war is bad". Stop whining and DO something about it. Better yet...why not complain to the FAMILIES that have lost people. Go to them and say "war is stupid" (this is to Henry not Chris...Henry was DYING to get something anti-war out of Chris) Watch Henry SMIIILE when Chris says war is stupid. He LOVES it!
Agreed! I so wish I would've saw that before I enlisted. May not have changed a thing though, when you're going you're "invincible". But I know I appreciate life and how fragile it is in comparison to when I was young
Wow. And two powerful minds shall meet. Interesting. "I don't have a computer" (cool.) "Good for you (gracious acknowledgement) Well I do" (control) "I've never really known how to do anything. I can tell who knows and I'd know who to ask" (resourceful and amazing) In my opinion, Rollins, your versitility is impressive, editorials insightful and your music still kicks, but I think Mr Walken gets the nod of credibility this round. ouch. On your own show too.
Heroism is a flexible idea, its easily adapted to ones beliefs, or more importantly the beliefs of the flag flying above your head. Its not a concrete concept, its all relative, islamic militants are heros to radical Muslims, American G.I.s are heros to conservative warhawks, SS troopers were heros to the German people who believed in Nazism. But people see the same things differently. So, all of that having been said, Rahab, shut up, were not debating whether or not soldiers are or arent killer
You realize Henry Rollins is the same guy thats gone on the USO tour twice to support the troops, protesting the war right on the front of it, and even went to fucking Israel and told them that the current skirmish there is stupid, when he could have easily been shot? What are you high? You are talking about one of the most "active" activists of all time.
@johnnypung If I had seen this video before hand I might have, but the urge to see all the white folk out where I am squirm and cry about a black president was too strong. And oh the squirming has been epic and the cries pathetic in an almost ecstatic way.
The only people who have the right to an opinion about war are people who have been there So, walken, I love him to death, but celeberties need to take an ice cold glass of shut the fuck up about their political views
What with all this this "didn't do his research" bullshit? That's the point of an interview, to learn about that person and ask questions that will get answers that are interesting to you and your audience.
Terminator Bigfoot War is politicians sending other people's children to die for their own gain. Wars are very rarely fought by the people who caused them.
wow how did henry rollins go from singing for one of the kick ass bands of all time...Black Flag...and become a toolbox host of some show...what a fake tv laugh...he doesnt seem real anymore
