    You missed a GIANT part of Walken's professional story. He began acting when he was a kid, along with his two brothers, starring in commercials, live TV, and anything else they could cast him in. His mother managed his career but wasn't pushy, and Walken has said he really enjoyed it. He is one of the few child actors who survived to become successful as an adult. His mother was Scottish, so did not need to learn English, but his father was German. It was people in the neighborhood (multicultural) that caused him to develop his speech style. He started dancing as a small boy and danced on Broadway long before he did movies, starring in the road version of the original West Side Story. He met his wife, another dancer, while touring, and they are still together. These are things anyone knows who has taken the slightest interest in him. Next time, at least read Wikipedia, guys. P. S. He does not care how well or poorly his movies do. He's there to do the job, which he loves. Best attitude I've ever heard.

    America's Sweethearts is one of my all time favorite movies and a favorite in regards to performance by Chrostopher Walken. It's a brilliant comedy commentary spoof on Hollywood. ❤️

    I adore him in Severance. He and John Turturo are magic together. It's one of his roles where the writing elevates his performance since Severance is the best written show I've seen in a long time.

    (06:15) Wee correction required -
    "..English was their second language..."
    While Christopher Walken's Dad was German, his Mum, Rosalie Russell, was Glaswegian.
    The Glaswegian accent might be unusual to some, but it certainly is English that's being spoken.

    The last I even enjoyed a role by him was in Seven Psychopaths, his acting in the 2010s was just minor roles o cameos. He was a powerhouse in the 80, 90s and 2000s

  • @pamina1001
    @pamina1001 Год назад +2

    You should have mentioned "Who am I this time?" (1981) An early TV- Movie by Jonathan Demme( Silence of the lambs), starring also Susan Sarandon. Walken plays a young, shy man who can only express his feelings while playing his roles on stage, e.g. Stanley Kowalski in "Streetcar named desire". He shows a great versatility here, just great acting!

  • @mandi8345
    @mandi8345 Год назад +2

    Little known fact: the Fatboy Slim video did not include wirework. Christopher Walken can just simply fly through the power of shear magnanimous radiance. In fact, for some, seeing Christopher Walken floating in front of a large ominous painting is the last thing they will see.......

    I’ve loved him since at least The Dead Zone (I’m also a big King fan) and the parody of himself/his character he did for SNL was hilarious too.
    Also if anyone here has not seen the “Weapon of Choice” video I would recommend you just go watch it now, it’s so good.
