I will be forever haunted by the story that Mel Gibson had told of his meeting with Walken. Mel was looking to meet actors that he might like to work with through no pressure/no act meetings. Walken started up a conversation regarding the most sinister types of torture. Mel said he had read a book on it so he kept up with him. He said people that were there had to leave bc it was that bad.
@@OscarJTrump me too. ive always had a peculiar sense of walken. he is a phenomenal actor, best in class, but there is just something off about him. is he into mass orgies? blood sacrifices? eating children? the occult? who knows, but something isnt right. still love the guy as an actor
I love Christopher Walken. He is so cool. Love the way he dances too. Watched a movie where he's a grandfather who goes on a road trip with his family. Does a really groovy dance around a fire. Sexy man. Different.
My grandson, who has asperger syndrome, fell in love with the video Weapon of Mass Destruction, especially the part where Christopher Walken flew. My little man would laugh so hard and I enjoyed his laugh so much that I would randomly play it and he would stop whatever he was doing and come watch and wait for that part. I would love to thank him for the happiness he brought to that little ones life! My little one just turned 18 on jan.3,2018.
He has a stage precense that's unbelievable, he's that sort of actor that always seems to have the main caracteer role, even if it's just a little role
Christopher Walken has this quite menace about him which is extremely powerful. John Malcovitch has a similar style although they are very different. The kind of actors you can't take your eyes off because they dominate everyone else on the silver screen.
If it sounds and looks and smells like a dog, it probably is. Neither he nor wagner reported her missing saying they didn't know until later. Right. Get a brain. Wagner refuses to speak to the police ABOUT THE WOMAN HE WAS OBSESSED WITH AND IN LOVE WITH and you THINK neither had anything to do with it?!!! If they were both innocent, why would Walken say "its a conversation I wont have" and that its a 'freaking bore' talking about it WHEN ITS A WOMANS LIFE INVOLVED, A FRIEND?! You can wipe your ass with your stupid excuses but the the dog is still a dog. Or a Duck if you want.
Markus E I think he won’t talk about it because he either doesn’t really know (maybe he was asleep on the boat - it was at night, after all) and if he speculates, he might face a big, fat lawsuit if he states he thinks Wagner was involved. I think Wagner killed her. She was a much bigger star than he was, even with Hart to Hart. He’d surely have inherited a huge fortune and possibly big insurance proceeds. Also, Wagner was bisexual - Natalie caught him with a man, and that’s why she divorced him before remarrying him years later. Apparently, Walken & Wood were flirting and Wagner was jealous - but of who? His gorgeous wife or her stunning co star? That & getting his hands on her estate definitely establishes motive. The real reason Walken probably refuses to talk about it is because it was a traumatic experience for him & he doesn’t want to relive it. If you were on a boat and someone with whom you were friends drowned, would YOU be eager to talk about it, especially if you had no idea what happened? I wouldn’t - and having important public figures involved would make me especially reluctant to discuss it. Chris is a smart guy - he doesn’t want to relive the anguish of his co-star’s death, and he doesn’t want to get sued by speculating Wagner’s involvement. Besides, what possible motive would he have for helping drown Natalie? He is straight, happily married (to his one & only wife - 50 years & counting as of today) and killing her would only have delayed or ended filming the picture in which they were both starring at the time. His career was kind of stagnant at that time; I doubt he would have engaged in any kind of illegality that would have affected his career negatively.
Walken was at a restaurant and there was a couple seated next to him and the guy said loud enough for Walken to hear him " This salad is good but it could use more Cowbell " Walken found that hilarious. He sounds like a real likeable dude.
I have loved Walken from the first time I saw him in the Deer Hunter and knew he was destined to be Big, not a Star, just Big, he had that charisma and originality. And Talent.
Premium Property Services Underrated??? By whom?? I'm pretty sure everybody (except maybe himself) thinks he is nothing short of fantastic. Do you mean by the dopes that give out awards??
He's not underrated. He's just as he says. He's himself and just remembers the lines. He's the same no matter what movie he's in. He should be just cast as Christopher Walken instead of the character. Lack of range in characters, because he only has one. Himself. The simple statement that he hates roles that are written FOR him. Know why they're written FOR him? Because they know he CAN'T perform the role as they'd like. You get Christopher Walken, not an actor. Walken's speech cadence is what gets the roles, not his acting ability.
I finally saw the movie called the The Deer Hunter this year. OMG! I still haven't gotten over it. The scene with Robert DE Niro and Christopher Walken at the table in Viet Nam where De Niro was trying to get him to go home with him was so unbelievable to me. So well done. No wonder Walken walked home with an Academy Award.
his greatest performance was across from Dennis hopper as hopper’s character knew he was gonna die no matter what. hopper’s monologue was a response to walkin’s silent monologue … brilliant!!
I was having dinner in NYC with a business associate when Walken walks in alone and is seated about ten feet away facing me. He was dressed in a black suit. He is one of my favorite actors which I mentioned to my friend. My friend said to go to Walken's table and say as much. As I worked up my courage to do just that, when Walken's friend arrived which was a relief to me. I was off the hook. His friend was also dressed in a black suit which presented me with a memorable memory. That was 30 years ago and I still regret that I didn't have the nerve to approach him.
A couple of the things you did not mention is, in real life he's a very modest man. He said once, "If somebody were to do the story of my life, not that anybody would, it would be about my wife and me around the house. It would be like watching paint dry." He's been married to Georgianne Leigh Thon for 52 years. His one and only. His wife Georianne made a joke once when she was asked in an interview who her favorite actor was and she said "Kevin Costner."
There's nothing wrong with Christopher Walken. He is the way he is, and that's all there is to it. Nobody is the world has the same type of personality. We were all created differently and we deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Anyone who judges Christopher Walken really need to look at themselves in the mirror.
What a lot of people admire about him is his sense of timing, even comedic timing, such as on SNL. That we're intrigued not just by him but by good impressions of him, well...Kevin Spacey's take on Walken is about 99% on...
The neighborhood hes talking about is Astoria Queens NY...His family had a bakery on the corner of Broadway and 31 street called Walken's Bakery.I remember him and the Bakery very well.I fully understand him and can relate with him because i grew up in the very same neighborhood..LOL.LOL..
Carol Lee. Between Crescent and 29 street on 31 Ave..I wont mention the name of the building..LOL..My mom still lives in Astoria i live in Bayside now.
I know the building your talking about. That was the apartment his mother kept for the bakers. I'm in 30-83 29 Street the building where he was born. They moved to Bayside in the 50's on 210 Street and 38th.Ave.
He never acts! He's too awesome! He performs for himself! He's so great that he knows what the director wants, even before the director knows it! I'm... not...going... to...impress you. Just...sit...there... I'll tell you how great I am!
Dave Barrowcliffe I think he knows as much as he says. IMHO, Robert Wagner killed Natalie Wood. She was terrified of water & yet she gets in a dingy alone in her nightgown? They had some kind of argument - possibly bcz Natalie & Chris were flirting. Wagner was bisexual - maybe he wanted the very straight Walken for himself!
@@elainesnow326 - Dr. Phil has already done 2 shows on this & I agree with you. They have re-opened the investigation into Wood's death...Wagner was invited to the show to participate, but declined.
He grew up in Astoria, Queens, NYC. I live there and like he said, everyone hesitates in coming up with the right word. Class act. Sings, dances and acts nuts. Great performer all around.
Heheh, yeah I love that part. It's like acting is a thing he's got to do to get his clothing. Normal people go shopping - Walken learns his lines. He's a perfect example of profession matching personal needs. Honest about it too and I always like to see him act. Somehow you never know where he'll be taking a scene and then it just works.
I think that his performance in that film is my favourite dark character he's played - although for range and character development/destruction The Deer Hunter is hard to top. Side note: why do men of Scandanavian background make such great Lucifers? Viggo Mortensen; Peter Stormare (Constantine)...if you include Mads Mikkelsen's own reading of Hannibal Lecter as Lucifer then you can throw him into the mix. Ok. Geek time over. Cheers!
@beverly ledbetter Good for you! I have learned, continually, that the quickest way to get in trouble in The Land Of The Free is to actually exercise any of those freedoms. I have done my best to avoid being assimilated, with some minor success.
For many many years after watching"the deer hunter"I just need to say this:I'll NEVER FORGET his SENSETIVE!showing of the role he had to play in that movie🥺👌He REALLY did it well,I mean I was maybe 13/14years old then&I'm 59now;but YET what he showed(the Feelings)in that film is still with me.GREAT!🤩💕👍
Modesty...the rarest quality (and why he's loved and respected (not to mention healthy and I'm guessing happy). Walken: one of a kind (And what a dancer!).
The Fat Boy Slim video was the first thing I ever purchased fro iTunes. I don't even like Fat Boy Slim. The Best of SNL Christopher Walken is pure gold.
He is definitely one of the best actors known for playing movie villains like John Malkovich and Gary Oldman

For a long time I felt badly for not having gone to Nam on a technicality. I didn’t want to go, but once I got out of my unit I felt remorse, that is until I saw dear hunter. It was that movie and Christopher’s role that dissipated any and all feeling of guilt that I might have had and was cured for ever. So I owe him a debt of gratitude for that, and I can’t begin to tell you how glad I am that I did not participate in one of the most immoral and inhumane undertakings in America’s wars of aggression.
Christopher Walken is a one of a kind actor, and he's extremely hypnotic too. That voice too...that voice is infectious. Also he had his name legally changed to Christopher.
Walked grew up down the street from me in Astoria NY. His folks owned a bakery and I met my first GF in his cafe in the same neighborhood. He’s a super private guy. And one of the best actors IMO.
Bat Fink Best quote from that scene was do you know who I am no I give up who are you I am the antichrist you get me in a vendetta kind of mood you tell the angels in heaven you’ve never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you..... that quote will live on forever!!!!.....
Quinn Rollen jaja your telling me!!;)? Hes awsome!;) hes just good!! I love the movie king of new york!;) he was in it!;) i think thats what is called?
He is an Amazing actor. I like his family friendly parts as well as his freaky roles and serious roles. There is really no one like him. I never get bored with the parts he's played.
I came to know him (on screen) from Deer Hunter and like him ever since. He looked like ten years younger for his age back then, yet excelled in all roles he played IMHO. Thanks for the years of entertainment, "Nick." I like the way he talks, but not the parodies by others.
He was very good friends with a great character actor that we lost several years ago who was a close friend of mine. Someone who used to play poker with the likes of Nicholson and Hopper and that crew but one of my friend ended up in a nursing home. Chris was the only person that showed up to visit him on a regular basis. He’s a class act and a good friend.
Then why'd you click the video dumbass if didn't wanna see it cause he's just an actor seems like your mad cause he's successful for being himself and your not
They need them as uno embassadors - and secular holy figures... youtube - influence agents... the discourse of this crazy mindset is mindbuggeling... hear Hitlary Clinton - in elegant bullshit talking and calling them young leaders... but precondition - pay for pray..
Favorite Walken scene: Deerhunter, where he's in a hospital on a veranda, he's asked a question by I forget who. He doesn't say a word but expresses his answer by expressions suggesting his disbelief at the question. It carries on longer than token. But e everything he does is golden. The story he tells Penn about the wolves ..."they come round." was great.
You're talking to me all wrong, it's the wrong tone.....do it again and I'll stab you in the eye with a soldering iron! One of if not the best actors ever IMO. Despite him being pretty damn funny, Kings of NY is probably my favorite film from him. He was so gangster in that film, even Tony Montana would have to tip his hat to Frank White!
Several years ago, I was active in an Internet forum based on West Side Story. David Winters, who played Baby John in the original Broadway production and A-Rab in the movie, occasionally popped in to share some of his memories of working on the show. He said that Christopher Walken had stolen his commemorative West Side Story jacket and never gave it back. West Side Story was one of Walken's favorite musicals and he once played Riff in a stage production during his youth. IIt was one of his favorite stage roles. This video indicated that Walken liked to steal things.
Love Christopher Watkins on Grunge. Your Acting technique and theories are eerily close to home. I use the word 'Eerily' when being descriptive because that word just feels rite when speaking of your work! Peace and Who knows...maybe Ok have the pleasure of working with and privalesge of learning from you in the future! Signed, I AM Angie
Christopher Walken is/was by far the greatest SNL guest in the shows history. My favorite of his sketches are "More Cow Bell" and the census bureau where Walken was married to a Bobcat and his children were candy bars in the fridge
I had to work with him about 25 years ago. He's totally aggressive and not fun to be around. I tried to ditch him one day when I was supposed to be with him all day. It didn't work. He was being such a bitch and to make his mood even worse, our limo didn't show up. So I hailed a cab and when it pulled up, I said to him, "You know, it's okay--I'll get a different cab. You go ahead." He goes, "Get in the car." I said, "No, really it's alright, I can take..." He then shouts at me, "GET IN THE CAR!!" Needless to say, I got in the car and we rode in silence up to his house. Ugh. Very unpleasant guy.
Always like Christopher Walken as an actor and a human being he's very original unique and always puts his twist on whatever part he does not a lot of movie stars left like him
I met Ronnie back in 89 at a bar in Queens. He showed me a trick with a match and a rubber band. Had me & my buddies in stitches. Brilliant guy and definitely modest
Ok, so he doesn't play roles he just plays himself but gets upset when someone gives him a role of himself. Amazing how someone so eccentric can find work.
Who does the best Christopher Walken impression?
Grunge WooOw
Kevin Spacey...*coughs*
Grunge Kevin Pollak does a good Walken, his Shatner is decent too.
No one because only Christopher Walken is Christopher Walken.

My favorite Actor, no matter how bad the script I could enjoy a movie with him in it.
Christopher Walken has this quite menace about him which is extremely powerful. John Malcovitch has a similar style although they are very different. The kind of actors you can't take your eyes off because they dominate everyone else on the silver screen.
Yet, he knows Wagner murdered N. Wood but never confessed. You people are why the world is so biased, prejudiced and stupid.

I have done my best to avoid being assimilated, with some minor success.

For many many years after watching"the deer hunter"I just need to say this:I'll NEVER FORGET his SENSETIVE!showing of the role he had to play in that movie🥺👌He REALLY did it well,I mean I was maybe 13/14years old then&I'm 59now;but YET what he showed(the Feelings)in that film is still with me.GREAT!🤩💕👍
You haven’t lived until you’ve seen him in the SNL skit playing returning civil war hero Col. Angus. All the ladies love Col. Angus
Modesty...the rarest quality (and why he's loved and respected (not to mention healthy and I'm guessing happy). Walken: one of a kind (And what a dancer!).
my favorite: his scene in Annie Hall. Little known factoid: they misspell his name in the credits.
I loved his skits in SNL. One of my favorites was when he played the Continental, and then there is "I need more cowbell."
The Fat Boy Slim video was the first thing I ever purchased fro iTunes. I don't even like Fat Boy Slim.
The Best of SNL Christopher Walken is pure gold.
I hear Colonel Angus can be quite messy.
wedo4444 faky
Without a doubt one of the best performers to ever bless the stage, screen and anything else he puts his mind to.
I have always wanted to see him do Herman Munster. "Darn......darn-darn..."
I think he's be the perfect Herman Munster.
Anne-droid awesome actor comedian
I feel actor Ronnie walken was a good actor in life
Walken's greatest weird factor is his consistent genuineness and humility. Characteristics such as these are the rarest forms of gems in Hollywood.
Christopher Walken has got to be one of my most favorite actors of all time along with John Malkovich
He is definitely one of the best actors known for playing movie villains like John Malkovich and Gary Oldman
For a long time I felt badly for not having gone to Nam on a technicality.
I didn’t want to go, but once I got out of my unit I felt remorse, that is until I saw dear hunter.
It was that movie and Christopher’s role that dissipated any and all feeling of guilt that I might have had and was cured for ever.
So I owe him a debt of gratitude for that, and I can’t begin to tell you how glad I am that I did not participate in one of the most immoral and inhumane undertakings in America’s wars of aggression.
He sure played a dam good Villain along with Grace Jones in The James Bond movie "A View To A Kill"
Zorin industries , mayday was grace jones' name I think
Wasn't he a horse breeder in that movie.
Scott Newton yes Grace Jones played MayDay
Yeaaah, Grace Jones, what a queen!
I just saw that again. He was great.
Christopher Walken is a one of a kind actor, and he's extremely hypnotic too. That voice too...that voice is infectious. Also he had his name legally changed to Christopher.
"I don't chase stuff."
Unfortunately not everyone can live by that code and be happy.
Must be nice to be independent and give absolutely no fuck.
Walked grew up down the street from me in Astoria NY. His folks owned a bakery and I met my first GF in his cafe in the same neighborhood. He’s a super private guy. And one of the best actors IMO.
True Romance Walker and Hopper scene..... and he was great in Things to do in Denver when you’re dead....
Poor Hopper , GREAT Scene !
Click! was a good use of his style of quirk, although the movie sucked otherwise because of egghead.
The Paradigm of Power the world heavyweight champion of liars
Bat Fink
Best quote from that scene was do you know who I am no I give up who are you I am the antichrist you get me in a vendetta kind of mood you tell the angels in heaven you’ve never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you..... that quote will live on forever!!!!.....
The Paradigm of Power awesome quote!
Walken portrayal of Bond Villain in A view to a kill was my favorite Bond Villain. He was psychotic.
I truly enjoyed watching this. Guys a genius.
Quinn Rollen
he also did a cooking show and loves dogs so much he published at least one book about them. For real.
Quinn Rollen jaja your telling me!!;)? Hes awsome!;) hes just good!! I love the movie king of new york!;) he was in it!;) i think thats what is called?
Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey loves cats too
He is an Amazing actor. I like his family friendly parts as well as his freaky roles and serious roles. There is really no one like him. I never get bored with the parts he's played.
Walken in a winter wonderland. Happy new year!
I came to know him (on screen) from Deer Hunter and like him ever since. He looked like ten years younger for his age back then, yet excelled in all roles he played IMHO. Thanks for the years of entertainment, "Nick." I like the way he talks, but not the parodies by others.
Awesome. Christopher Walken is, wow, and I don't say this about any other actor, epic.
Christopher Walken, Nicolas Cage, Mickey Rourke, actors that make me go Wow, except Rourke, he's truly a legend that always awes me.
He was very good friends with a great character actor that we lost several years ago who was a close friend of mine.
Someone who used to play poker with the likes of Nicholson and Hopper and that crew but one of my friend ended up in a nursing home. Chris was the only person that showed up to visit him on a regular basis. He’s a class act and a good friend.
He is an actor. Actors pretend for a living. Stop turning them into anything else.
u jealous?
Strange actor.
He owes it to justice to be honest about that night on that yacht.
Why does he wears his pants so high?
Then why'd you click the video dumbass if didn't wanna see it cause he's just an actor seems like your mad cause he's successful for being himself and your not
They need them as uno embassadors - and secular holy figures... youtube - influence agents... the discourse of this crazy mindset is mindbuggeling... hear Hitlary Clinton - in elegant bullshit talking and calling them young leaders... but precondition - pay for pray..
Love Christopher Walken, will watch anything he acts in❤️
I freaking love Christopher Walken!!
me too :D
Favorite Walken scene: Deerhunter, where he's in a hospital on a veranda, he's asked a question by I forget who. He doesn't say a word but expresses his answer by expressions suggesting his disbelief at the question. It carries on longer than token. But e everything he does is golden. The story he tells Penn about the wolves ..."they come round." was great.
R.I.P.Natalie...we haven't forgotten you.. MAYBE one day we'll know the truth
yes
Do a search of Kevin Pollack on various radio talk shows. His "Walken" is spot-on, as he has real-life run-ins with the Hollywood legend.
I'll always love his "Champagna" skit on SNL more than anything! Cracks me up every time!
Absolute legend!! Love me some Christopher Walken
You're talking to me all wrong, it's the wrong tone.....do it again and I'll stab you in the eye with a soldering iron! One of if not the best actors ever IMO. Despite him being pretty damn funny, Kings of NY is probably my favorite film from him. He was so gangster in that film, even Tony Montana would have to tip his hat to Frank White!
The death of Natalie Wood is probably an ongoing haunting memory for the poor guy.
I've been a big fan of Christopher Walken's for years. :D
Christopher Walken IS one hell of an actor! He's about the last of the top notch actors.
Hollywood has turned into garbage.
What movie was he tap dancing in(about 1:35 in video)? My sister and I have seen most of his movies but cant place this one.
That would be Pennies rom Heaven. You can catch the dance part on youtube. His mom used to love watching it.
I'm Guessing here ; I Think --- " pennies from heaven " with a very young Steve Martin
That's right also with Bernadette Peters. Chris is my cousin.He still is tap dancing in his 70's
With-out Question ; One of my all time favorites of anything I have ever seen ...
I stopped when I was young because of an accident. But most keep dancing along.
Several years ago, I was active in an Internet forum based on West Side Story. David Winters, who played Baby John in the original Broadway production and A-Rab in the movie, occasionally popped in to share some of his memories of working on the show. He said that Christopher Walken had stolen his commemorative West Side Story jacket and never gave it back. West Side Story was one of Walken's favorite musicals and he once played Riff in a stage production during his youth. IIt was one of his favorite stage roles. This video indicated that Walken liked to steal things.
his short role in true romance was great!
Rudi Repulsion Pulp Fiction is another short role that stands out.
You’re Sicilian...
SouthPaw agreed
Musicalistik half eggplant
You're a cantaloupe.
Love Christopher Watkins on Grunge. Your Acting technique and theories are eerily close to home. I use the word 'Eerily' when being descriptive because that word just feels rite when speaking of your work! Peace and Who knows...maybe Ok have the pleasure of working with and privalesge of learning from you in the future! Signed, I AM Angie
I like him even more now.
Christopher Walken is/was by far the greatest SNL guest in the shows history. My favorite of his sketches are "More Cow Bell" and the census bureau where Walken was married to a Bobcat and his children were candy bars in the fridge
Even though Christopher Walken gives me the creeps, he's an excellent actor.
USARMYvietnamVET1969
Are you a creep?
Walken always struck me as the human symbol for jazz music. He just seems like one cool cat. Always liked his characters.
He was involved because he knows Wagner murdered Natalie.
And, what was his relationship with Wagner???
@MK Ultra No, he didn't
Mr Walken is one of the very few people I don't actually know, but from what I've heard and read, do admire greatly as a person.
I had to work with him about 25 years ago. He's totally aggressive and not fun to be around. I tried to ditch him one day when I was supposed to be with him all day. It didn't work. He was being such a bitch and to make his mood even worse, our limo didn't show up. So I hailed a cab and when it pulled up, I said to him, "You know, it's okay--I'll get a different cab. You go ahead." He goes, "Get in the car." I said, "No, really it's alright, I can take..." He then shouts at me, "GET IN THE CAR!!" Needless to say, I got in the car and we rode in silence up to his house. Ugh. Very unpleasant guy.
What do you work
@@hoerthproductions2521 At that time, I worked at Paramount.
Very good video quality. Thanks!!
The untold truth about Christopher Walken? He's got a FEVER!
ArcherPiperII fever he got walken newmonia
And it can only be cured by more cowbell
Always like Christopher Walken as an actor and a human being he's very original unique and always puts his twist on whatever part he does not a lot of movie stars left like him
“It was a horse...deal with it”
🤣🙈🤣
He's down to earth n like his style of acting n dancing. Love him.❤❤😚
I never realized young Walken looks like Depp.
WRONG ...
More like Jon Voight.
ekklesiast No he's ugly and so is Depp but they don't look like each other except in the inside
ekklesiast
More like Scarlett Johansson. Compare the images and you will see what i mean.😂
Lorraine Evans beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😛
I met Ronnie back in 89 at a bar in Queens. He showed me a trick with a match and a rubber band. Had me & my buddies in stitches. Brilliant guy and definitely modest
Ok, so he doesn't play roles he just plays himself but gets upset when someone gives him a role of himself. Amazing how someone so eccentric can find work.
I just love him in any part he plays, and as a decent human being/family man 😘❤️👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐
Walken is da bomb.... nothing more needs to be said....
