Jay Mohr's impersonation is MUCH better than Pollak's, but Kevin has better stories and is a more creative storyteller. So I will laugh harder at Kevins story, but purly on sound with your eyes closed and trying to picture if it's actually Chris, Jay wins HANDS DOWN.
The norwegian actor Kristoffer Joner was to impersonate Walken in his first movie,an indie-film called "Mongoland" where they dedicated a scene to the legend ruclips.net/video/kQHVQdf9-88/видео.html
The hair, the eyes, the voice, the mannerisms and the SNL skits from The Continental to More Cowbell. Walken is more than just iconic, he's an unforgettable living legend.
He was almost a regular on there in the 1990s and he was just a natural comedian with great timing and delivery. Even when he was obviously reading the cue cards it was funny.

I 💕 loves Christopher Walken. In fact I met him in person at the Yale university repetitory Theater in new havn Connecticut. And he invited me into his dressing room. And we had a nice casual talk. Then he asked me, where did we both meet before. I told Chris in my dreams ♥️💕🥰
Nolan North sounds the most natural. Like he’s not doing a voice, but it’s just his voice. Makes sense, because he’s one of the greatest voice actors in video game history.
It’s almost like impersonations/look a likes are literally supposed to be another person entirely or something. Not to mention Charlie Chaplin the person and the character he played are different people. Edit: He literally didn’t even wear the “signature mustache”. Of course he lost.

He’s a big video game voice actor. He plays the main character in the Uncharted games. (You may have seen the recent Uncharted movie which is based on those games) He’s also played Deadpool in a Deadpool video game from a number of years ago.
Simon Helberg from the Big Bang Theory I thought did the best ever impression of Christopher Walken, I can't believe he wasn't mentioned, I thought Bradley Cooper was best of the 5.
Best could probably be done by Anthony Jeselnik. I believe thry are both Pittsburgh natives. Sometimes I'd hear Anthony's set and think for a second it was Walken.
When the impersonator mixes in the little whispers, along with all the other nuances… That just does it’s for me. I’ve seen one guy do him perfectly. And I hung out with him in 2008 one evening. I was his father‘s roommate. We went to the casino and he would just throw that in once in a while. He even did the little whispers. I was like dude, you can have a career doing that. And of course he was from Brooklyn. He had that shit down
Great actor. I still cant get passed the fact that he was on the boat when Natalie Wood died mysteriously and I believe knows what happened but I feel he has never been consistently candid about the incident....
I totally agree. I believe that Natalie was berating Robert because he was gay, and he lashed out at her. Either she fell getting into the dinghy and drowned, and Robert heard her screams but told everyone to ignore them, or he actually pushed her overboard. The captain wanted to search for her but Robert Wagner would not let him. Walken seems creepy and capable of anything, but I think he's actually a good guy and innocent in all this, except probably covering up for Wagner after the fact.
Same way man, tucked away in my mind there's always the "unfinished business" I can't seem to resolve about the whole damn affair. I suppose the only thing that's certain about what happened that night is it definitely wouldn't have gone the way that did in today's criminal prosecutorial world; no way. Someone got a pass.
@@derricktaylor2996 I would tend to agree but my sister died under very suspicious circumstances and the police spent a lot of effort not to do a damn thing. Those CSI shows are a load of crap.
Comedian Craig Gass absolutely smokes anyone else's impression of Christoper Walken hands down. The best ever. If you haven't seen him do it, do yourself a favor and look it up on RUclips or Google and judge for yourself.
HELLO, when an impersonator is giving an impression, of Walken in this case, it has the greatest effect to keep the visuals trained in the impersonator and not pan to various stills where the viewer can only hear the voice and not see the delivery. This video annoyingly sucks for this reason.
Craig Gass has one of the best CW impressions!! Among other incredible impressions that he does, Al Pacino, Tracy Morgan, Adam Sandler, Sam Kinison, Lars Ulrich, Gilbert Gottfried and the list goes on.
Of all these here, I can see Nolan North actually nailing Walken's opening line in The Anderson Tapes, his toothfairy bit in The Rundown (not easy), and really just anything. He doesn't just casually talk with Walken's accent, someone else here said nuances, and he could do them all. Nolan North wins 🏆
This is what I thought. It’s clear that nearly everyone on this list has the rhythm and cadence down more or less, but Bradley Cooper actually *sounds like* Walken, which in my book would mean he has the best impression.
Bradley Cooper is one of those guys who's talented, good looking, and somehow also funny as fuck. He also seems like a genuinely good dude. Ryan Reynolds is another in the category.
My favourite Malkovich movie is Dangerous Liaisons. I watch that film every few months just to see the on screen chemistry between Malkovich and Glenn Close. It is cinema gold.
I was really impressed with the Bradley Cooper frankly, I think you did a better job than Kevin Spacey. I think with walking you have to have a relaxation in your voice that's natural, I thought Bradley Cooper had it.
I think Jay Mohr is the best of these five. Listen to his stand-up sometime, and you can close your eyes and think it's Walken. His story about Walken talking about Jay's dog, who has its tail docked is hilarious every time I hear it.
I thought number 1 was good, but I would have given number 1 to Bradley Cooper. Last would have gone to Spacey. I didn't think he was good at all. I could hear his own voice, and he just sounded like Kevin Spacey doing a Christopher Walken impression.
These men are all very good with the sound and voice. The true challenge is to have a great few lines to have the voice say. Noah does the best voice, but no one beats Pollock for great stories and hilarious lines.
I have a pretty good impression of him myself. Years ago I had a dream he came into my yard, started up a Ducati motorcycle that as there (I've never owned one).. then proceeded to say "This will do.. nicely." in Walken-speak. He then did a few donuts in the grass, and I tried wrestling it out of his grip while he red lined the engine, and I woke up just as the engine was going to blow. Still remember that from 15 years ago.

Bradley Cooper. The "Pineapple.....I like to eat it" nailed it right on.
yeah thought he was infinitely better than pollack
By far the best one
When Cooper said "Pineapple"... that killed everyone else. Spacey sounds like himself doing Walken.
Spacey sucks.
Spacey's one was over the top af
I have always enjoyed Christopher Walken no matter what roles he plays. Even his voice over work makes a movie extra special.
Christopher is an amazing actor!
He's good crazy. It's a thing.
He could read the phone book and make it entertaining.
The only person in this video who actually sounds like Christopher Walken is Christopher Walken... and Bradley Cooper
they used the not good version of jay mohr, he can do way better, def the best i heard
I don't think Bradley Cooper's impression is the best but "pineapple" had me bustin my gut XD
I love Christopher Walken!!! He's definitely a special guy!
0:14 Incredible impression by ScarJo!
Christopher Walken is just ridiculously hilarious.
I could listen to him all day.
"slashing cactuses or whatnot"
i too can listen to walken spit out nonsense just make sure it's his voice
I’m disappointed. I thought it was going to be Christopher Walken doing impressions of other actors for once.
Me, too
And me lol
Cooper nailed it.

He sucks.
Nolan North and Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor in Smallville) sound good to me.
I was surprised by how great his Walken was until I remembered that Nolan is just always great.
He sounds like Chris Walken in True Crime Streets of L.A.
Dave Grohl reminiscing about CW introducing Foo Fighters on SNL. “foo FIGHTERS!”
Bradley cooper gets my vote, the combination of voice and expression cements it for me.
Ross Marquand does it better
You know it's a tough list to crack when even Christopher Walken isn't in the top 5 Christopher Walken impersonators.
Charlie Chaplin entered his own look alike contest and lost...

Never heard of Nolan North till now, but he absolutely does the best Walken voice.
hes in like every video game ever haha

HES ALSO PETER HASTINGS IN PRETTY LITTLE LIARS!!!!
Check out the RUclips channel retro replay
@@II_GTA_FREEK_II did you catch North's cameo on the beach in the movie?
When I was younger I had the biggest crush on Christopher Walken..❤️🐾
Didn't even read the caption. I saw Mr. Walken and automatically clicked on the video
And Christopher Walken is a hell of a dancer!
I have always maintained that Jay Mohr does the best Walken. It's just so detailed.
Ross Marquand does it better
Yep. Bradley Cooper for me as well!! Nailed it!
Brad and Nolan. Top two. Chris is my favorite actor always loved how he talked
Ross Marquand does it better
Simon Helberg from the Big Bang Theory I thought did the best ever impression of Christopher Walken, I can't believe he wasn't mentioned, I thought Bradley Cooper was best of the 5.
And Dave Grohl's impression ... Spot. On. Hilarious
@@urban_fox4658 Dave Grohl was hilarious! Anytime I watch him say "Foo Fightahs" I can't stop chuckling.
I disagree with this because to my ears, Bradley Cooper’s Chris Walken impression was easily the most authentic!
Best could probably be done by Anthony Jeselnik. I believe thry are both Pittsburgh natives.
Sometimes I'd hear Anthony's set and think for a second it was Walken.
O wow! I've never heard Nolan North's impression. That was damn near perfect. Nathan Drake and Walken FTW!
When the impersonator mixes in the little whispers, along with all the other nuances… That just does it’s for me. I’ve seen one guy do him perfectly. And I hung out with him in 2008 one evening.

Bradley Cooper was the best.
Fellas.. Christopher Walken puts his pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us. Cept, when his pants are on, he makes gold records.
Pollak IS the best.....He nails the little mannerisms
Bradley Cooper did the best impersonation!
"Pineapple..I like to eat it."
Cooper is the best 4 sure 😭❤️😎
...Pineapple 🤣
😂😂
The Deer Hunter, The Dead Zone and At Close Range are my favorite Christopher Walken films.
Bill Clinton does one of the best Chris Walken impressions
Christopher Walken is an incredible actor!
Check him out in The Andersen Tapes, I doubt he was even 20, great 🎥🍿 movie
Cooper wins here. I could have sworn there’s someone better than these five.
Jay Mohr and Kevin Pollak's are both great, but Nolan North's is scary good.
would have made a better nathan drake too. but whatcha gonna do...
Ross Marquand does it better
Brad Cooper is the best on this list
everyone always does the pause Walken but they forget that he goes low and scary gutteral too. thats a big part of the Walken.
Great actor. I still cant get passed the fact that he was on the boat when Natalie Wood died mysteriously and I believe knows what happened but I feel he has never been consistently candid about the incident....

LOVE Walken....one of kind 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 at close range is my top favs
Kevin Pollack is two levels above eveyone else - he nails all the strange little details.
Ross Marquand does it better
Agreed. Pollack has the facial expressions and body language down to a tee. Good impersonations are about more than just the voice.
Seems like most have the inflection right, but not necessarily the voice. Seems like Bradley Cooper had it.
Yeah I also feel that Bradley Cooper did it best... out of the 5 here. But the best impersonator of Christopher Walken is... Christopher Walken
Jay mohr surely
Agree. Based on these cuts.
Jay Mohr, Bradley Cooper and Nolan North. Anyone can pause, but its the inflection, tone, and tamber of his voice that makes it unique.
Jay Mohr was *in* a movie with Walken (Suicide Kings)
Check out the interview with Kevin Pollack & Titus Welliver. Titus absolutely nails it. The best imo.
I gotta go with Bradley Cooper on this one.
Spacey best by a mile
thats exactly what your mom said 2 me
I also like to eat pineapple.
@@semanticsman5192 It all boils down to semantics.
No chance. Mohr
One of my Favorites ❤👍👍👍👏👏👏
Cooper is the best by far.
So much fun watching allth3se c.w.impersonations.cant choose a favorite, th3ir all so good.
Kevin Pollack and all are great..I think Cooper has it...hands down
His look, staid expression certainly gives you food for thought, it's so menacing. Great actors & enjoy a a laugh.
Christopher Walken's best work was his many appearances on SNL.
"The Continental"
I hope Christopher takes these impressions with a bucket of humor.
And more cowbell!

Jay Mohr is amazing at the impersonation. Dave Grohl actually is quite good too.
Dave Grohl and Johnny Depp the GOAT
Yep. Dave and Johnny, in my humble opinion, are better than these 5!
Foo-FAITHEZ you mean?
Ladies and gentlemen, foo FIGHTAS….
Dave Grohl did it best!
First time I saw him in the film Annie Hall and he scared he chit out of Woody Allen.

That last dude was scary good
That would be Nolan North and Retro-Replay is his youtube channel
Yeah he was the best out of all of them, especially the voice
No it wasn’t
Pollack and north are pretty much neck and neck

Christopher Walken should have a Christopher Walken impression
Cooking with Christopher walking on the Australian TV show the wedge is the best impression of walking ever the guy does everything perfect.
WTF is Walking
@@TheWolf-qk9jp kinda like lazy jogging

His Gene Simmons is top
Notch as well. But his Kinison has to be the best ever
His story of how he grew up with deaf family members is interesting

He doesn't just casually talk with Walken's accent, someone else here said nuances, and he could do them all. Nolan North wins 🏆
Nolan North by far! I've never heard of him until now but damn, that was basically spot on!

We used to argue doing the Walken impersonation. We called them moments, a Walken off.
Cooper nails him better than anyone else on this list. Hands down.

Yup...no question about it, the others try too hard.
Bradley Cooper is one of those guys who's talented, good looking, and somehow also funny as fuck. He also seems like a genuinely good dude. Ryan Reynolds is another in the category.

Christopher Walken and John Malkovich are my all time favorite actors ever, they are flawless!

For me, I'd exactly reverse the order of this list.
Cooper is dead on.
Dave Conye does a great Chris Walken impression. Hired him at a great affordable price to make a short birthday video for a friend.

ABSOLUTELY. I thought the very same thing. He is the best
I think so too. Simon and Bradley Cooper do the best impersonation to me.
None of the guys here did it for me. He is so unique it throws everyone off.
Kevin's version is thee best! He even had a podcast..."Talken and Walken"

Wow--Walken looks great with the 'stache! "The only thing that would make it better...is more COWBELL"
There is a great clip of the late Robin Williams doing an impression of Walken having sex "I'm...inside you". It's absolutely hilarious!
Chris Walken is the most iconic legend on this fcken world. Even trying to impersonating him is teaching a lot about life. Wish him very long life!
