- Christopher Walken is the greatest of the greats. A legendary character actor who became an icon, chances are, if you're reading this, you've tried to do a Christopher Walken impersonation. It's too hard not to, as no one really sounds, or acts quite like Walken, do they? But before he became iconic for how over-the-top/wacky he is, he was a down-to-earth actor who collected a much-deserved Oscar for his role in Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter. Often, Walken's skill gets overlooked in favor of self parody, but here we dig into the whole scope of his career. This episode of What Happened to this Celebrity, which is written (with Mathew Plale), narrated and produced by Taylor James Johnson, and edited by Kier Gomes, we dig into this one of a kind talent.

His speech in "Pulp fiction" is still one of the best acting scenes of all time
Along with the scene in True Romance.
Uhhh better than Alec Baldwin in Rust?
Love it.

That whole storyline was great. You just get it that Bruce Willis had to go back and risk his life for that watch.
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.
Well thank you for me not wasting my time I'm not going to watch not😅
Wasn't he in a fat boy slim video dancing? Who ever video it was, he was cuttin that rug up.
@@camdonmcclendon4348 Oh yeah! His finest performance was in Pennies from Heaven, where he dances on a bar in his shorts.
Yeah and he needs more cowbell.
I used to take jazz dance class you'd Christopher Walken back in the day
He’s in Dune 2, so people will see him in there when that comes out
I hope this is real!
oh right, he's playing Shaddam Corrino, that's epic
You're comin at my boy Feyd all wrong, it's wrong tone... if Feyd wishes, he can face you with my, soldering iron in his HAND.
I can confirm from the future as i just seen it today
The look on this man's face when Dennis Hopper said that shit about Sicilians in True Romance has to be the best acting I've ever seen... period...
One of the most tense scenes I've ever watched. He and Dennis Hopper made some dark magic there.
No doubt, But Dennis went out like a fukin man... and Chris was a cool character....
What you are missing is that the man still constantly acts in TV shows and movies, some of them indies that he finds interesting. He does not seem to care at all about stardom or how well or poorly his movies do. You guys do, obviously, but he doesn't. His priorities are always right.
I remember seeing him in a episode of Kojak
His reading of the 3 Little Pigs is freaking hilarious.
I think its great - both he and Nicolas Cage are talked not just about their work - but themselves, the person. That's unique, I think.
Has there ever been a movie with those two in it? I mean Christopher Walken, and Nicolas Cage in the movie would be awesome.😂
GPS with a Walken voice:
"You've... got a. flat. tire... You better. start... Walken."
Yokes aside, this man is a legend.
And now so are you
This man is iconic and can be really serious in like "Deer hunter", "At close range", "Catch me if you can" & "True Romance" but also fucking hilarious and fun in "Mousehunt", "Click" & "Wedding Crashers"
And even super hot lol

for me his movie "The Dead Zone" is one of my favourite.. even though its based on supernatural power, I was so moved after seeing that movie
A Stephen King novel…great movie!
My favourite casting story about Christopher Walken is that he almost became Jesus Christ in Martin Scorsesse's adaptation of The Last Temptation Of Christ until they decided to go with Willem Dafoe instead. The idea of Walken doing the Sermon On The Mount feels like one of the great missed opportunities in cinema history.
"Where are you going tonight, Frank? Some place exotic?...Tahiti? Hawaii?" Of all the iconic performances he is known for, my favorite role of his was in Catch Me if You Can. Well, both The Deer Hunter and Catch Me if You Can. It's understated, hypnotic, and says so much with so little. Brilliant.
There is a deleted scene in that film when Frank and his father are celebrating in a bar so they want to play a song on the jukebox. Some tough guys are hanging around and they start pouring beer on Frank's Sr's head and laughing at him. Walken never breaks his stride

Been in love with him since i was 5 back in 1990. Its going to take a piece of my soul when he passes away
That's why I saw you defending him under another video. Acting like you had a dog in the fight under every negative comment.
@@jessiem276I will defend anyone against accusations and speculation with no proof. I've been accused of something I didn't do, so I know what it's like
His favorite role was archangel Gabriel in The Prophecy (my favorite too)
He can be extremely intimidating and menacing when he wants especially "Seven Psychopaths", "Sleepy Hollow" "True Romance" & "Nick of time". 4 underrated performances by him
Add prophecy onto the list

True Romance is the one I was trying to remember. Like, "I'm SURE I've been petrified of him before in something..."
Christopher Walken is one of the legends of all time

He should start his own country where every citizen will have his made up accent.
He's a terrific dancer too
For evil people probably.
Saw Christopher Walken performa live in Shakespeare in the Park in NYC. He played Iago and Raul Julia played Othello. It was one of the most amazing and magical performances I ever saw.
That would be a memory to treasure!
That's awesome! :)
Awesome!
That must have been so
amazing . Raul Julia was wonderful to so many movies too.
Wow, that's a theatrical performance that would be hard to top.
A One of One. Never will be anyone like him. That's what makes people iconic to me
I've always been a fan of Christopher Walken loved his performance in King of New York.
King Of New York is possibly the greatest gangster film ever made.
What happened to him was that he got cast in Dune: Part Two
The man works. Always love him, in anything.
You can see him at a pub in Camden St, Dublin. There's a poster at the front door, with a particularly unblinking staredown of his on it. "WALKENS WELCOME". Bravo.
Legend of our lifetime! Love anything with this man in.
C.Walken is one of the most talented actors I have seen over the last 40 years.He is something else!!
March 31st, 2023... the 80th birthday of an acting legend! To know that Gene Kelly dancing on the big silver screen inspired Mr. Walken's dance moves always puts a smile on my face! Feliz Cumpleano, Senor Walken. Tell them Frank White sent ya!😂
I really liked his performance in Severance.
Wish I could upvote this twice, I love him!! Kudos 🎉
He has always been a favorite actor of mine ever since I saw him in "A View to a Kill." "Pulp Fiction," "Batman Returns," and "Sleepy Hollow" were great. Even in bad films, Walken is... weirdly charming.
He was really good in "Catch-me-if-you-can", "King of New York "and also had a great speech in "Pulp Fiction", what a legend
3/29/23
I think in Reservoir Dogs Mr Pink! Lol
"If you sell a 5 dollar joint in the park, then I want a piece of that" So cold.
His best performance is easily in The Deer Hunter. One of the greatest performances of all time.
New generation haven't seen it yet . Not enough explosions except one.
I was 2 when that movie came out , it was 1987 if I am remembering it right
I so would love to be there when Mel and Chris had that conversation just to sit and listen.
I absolutely adore this cinematic legend.
In a nutshell, Christopher Walken just makes everything more interesting.
Thanks for the retrospective, great video!
You can close your eyes....and just get that chill when you hear the voice of Phil Hartman and he introduces....The Continental.
I've seen Communion as a kid. It was a source of my nightmares for a long,long time. 😂😂
He's done it all! 😃 A comic dancer,very smart with genius movie roles, it gets better at anytime.😄📽
"Yeah, well, to some people I'm just the devil in blue suede shoes. Don't you believe it, ok?"
- Christopher Walken (as Brad Sr. in At Close Range -1986)
I love him in True Romance. His scene with Dennis Hopper ,was great. Actually Dennis Hopper's dialog was superb. Christopher Walken's acting is so good in so many movies. He's a dancer too.
We're all parodies of ourselves, Christopher Walken just owns it and make millions doing it.
Sarah Plain and Tall - a great series of movies he was in with Glenn Close. They had great chemistry in those.
Yes - he’s actually very good (and low key) in those.
So right you are! He was sizzling hot as a Plains farmer 😍
The Prophecy is my favorite B movie of all time, BUT Viggo Mortensen actually out-performs Walken in his few scenes
Ask him about Natalie Wood!
😭
He's ALIVE AND ROCKIN'!
Woww, that brief impression of Walken by Bradley Cooper was very good.
He is, indeed, the weapon of choice ...
That Puss n Boots movie was how I always remembered Walken in my childhood. I loved that movie and I always remember him in that performance
We all pretty much collectively love Christopher Walken in some way and he's a legend in our eyes.
I hve always liked Christopher Walken as a unique one of a kind actor.
Can't wait to him in Dune Part Two!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walken's greatest performance was as the angel Gabriel in 'The Prophecy'.
More like in deer hunter 1987 as a traumatized vet who lost his ways
Future seance to contact Walken's ghost: What is heaven like?
Walken's Ghost: Eh. It needs more cowbell.
Christopher's performance in hairspray is one of my all-time favorites.❤
When I was a kid I thought Walken was old in that Batman movie, and now I see he was still in his young-guy era.
He was fucking scary in True Romance & Sleepy hollow
Best actor all time
WALKEN GREW UP IN ASTORIA, QUEENS NYC. MY HOMETOWN BOY!! HE IS BRILLIANT AND GORGEOUS!!
Just binged the show Severance and he was good in that I think
Didn't realize he was so good looking at a young age. Man I hate getting old.
My most favourite actor.....named my son after his character in prophecy....
What happened? He had a legendary career
His role in Envy was so funny to me. I still use his quote ‘ GOOD for you…good FOR you…good for YOU’. His qwerky word accents and non-rhythmic speech pattern is unmatched.
I‘m happy to own 2 autographs from him! He’s the best!
Lucky
I’ve been waiting for you guys to do a video on this legend FOREVER. thank you !!!
Christopher Walken is a legend his intensity his presence his performances in Deerhunter Batman returns Suicide kings King of New York amazing and when it comes to actors impressions he's # 1
King Of New York. The Prophecy and Communion are my fave Walken films🎥
I pretty much was introduced to Walken in the much forgotten Brainstorm. Maybe saw The Dead Zone next, and really liked him from then on.
I freaking love Biloxi Blues. Walken is hilarious in that movie.
And hot ..
I LOVED him in Dad Zone and Brainstorm.
Things to do in Denver When You're Dead is the very epitome of an underrated or 'hidden gem' movie. If anybody reading this hasn't seen it (especially if you like stylish gangster flicks w/unbelievable ensemble casts) please see it however you can, when you get a chance. It's in my top 5 Walken roles, & in my top 10 gangster flicks.
You beat me to it. "Buckwheats" sums it up, I think.

@M Bryson So many great lines. That movie had it's own lingo. 'Fishin' for saplings', give it a name, 'I am Godzilla, you are JAPAN!' LOL
@@nicolamcguinness8689 what does Dana Andrews have to do with this video????
@@mbryson2899 do not ever google "Buckwheats" untill you watched the film .
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.
Let's see what he does with his role as the emperor of the known universe in Dune.
I'm just trying to imagine a universe were Christopher Walken is Han Solo and what that would be like. I need to see it and know Disney can do it 🤣🤣
He was fantastic in Seven Psychopaths.
The Prophecy was an all around great B movie.
That’s my favorite movie, and his favorite role (he said in a book)
@@FadingVitals This movie brings back SO MANY good memories! I was a teenager, about 16. I went to school , and we were ALL impressed and inspired by his performance as Gabriel.
Is there a chance that you can tell me the name of the book?

A true icon, acted as a child went on to broadway then Hollywood! Worked his ass off, deserves more accolades in my humble opinion!
this video needs more cow bell
I’ll never forget him in ‘The Deer Hunter’, chilling performance.
So many good performances...I am sure he has a few surprises still.
I've ALWAYS adored Chris Walken
What happened to Wtf happened??
I just KNEW that was going to prove to be a come on....
Milagro Beanfield War, not Milargo - directed by Robert Redford. Love this 'WTF happened to' series. The recaps of entire careers is a great memory jogger.
Have been wondering that myself. Love C.Walken ! He's a great
dancer.
Communion is my favorite. Also today im a alligator.
King of New York and The Prophecy are pure majesty on his part.
America's Sweethearts is a brilliant and hilarious spoof and commentary on Hollywood. Walken was just the cherry on top.
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. ❤️
Please dude, make one special What Happened with the late Ray Liotta!
Say what you want, but no one will forget this man or what he's contributed to cinema, good, bad, and goofy.
Can't wait to see him as Padisha Emperor of the known universe in Dune part two. I've always loved Christopher Walken
An actor whose mere presence in a mediocre project can instantly make it better... Except for "Peter Pan Live", which we don't address.
One of the best actors of all time
you can really tell we're in for a doozy when it takes 5min just to get where the beginning began xD
Great compilation and commentary!
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
He is awesome. He is magnificent. He is LEGEND. He doesn't need to do another thing.
I think he'll just go 'til he drops. He loves to work, and the world needs his level of skill and dedication.
Just watched him in At Close Range for the first time since the 80s. He's a great actor.
Chris Walken is doing fine. He's hiding under my bed like always.
Give him hugs please

Walken had a certain way to deliver his lines along with his body language made him very strange . Great actor !
Ahh yes...so likable and eccentric
