    Mr. Walken was very open and gracious here. He's a real pro not only as an actor, dancer and singer but in handling any question thrown his way. Makes you dig him all the more----completely unique human.

    My Mother was Ronnies Aunt, (my cousin). We went backstage at Lion in the Winter met Robert Preston and Rosemary Harris. My Mother swooned when she met Preston as he changed after the show. Ronnie borrowed $5 from my mom because he was broke. He loved my Mother very much. She Lived with his family when she first emigrated from Scotland and I worked in the Bakery with Ronnie and his brothers in Astoria around the holidays when it was very busy. I miss them all very much.

    Loved the interview. They were so good at letting Walken finish his sentences. And asking really interesting open ended questions. Walken is such a legend, and we saw the best of him here.

    The colossus that is Christopher Walken. Geez, words can't express how much I admire him. When I think of all the plays this incredible man has been in it makes me wish I was born in America. I coulda gone to see him! I love watching these shows and listening to his experiences and thoughts on his craft; being in a local theatre group myself I have learned so much from this guy. I went to a method acting boot camp last year and one of the films we were advised to watch was the Deer Hunter. Sure, Chris says he doesn't apply method acting himself. He's even said he doesn't understand the concept of it. Yet he has the emotional power and depth that a method actor requires. In essence, whether he understands it or not, realises it or not, he's totally nailed the concept.

    An interesting interview, but would have been much better with a one-on-one, letting Christopher Walken talk more freely without interruption, or trying to steer him to specific answers. C.W. handled the situation well.

    I know what he’s trying to get at , I’ve had friends and met some guys that were hilarious just telling a story , they weren’t even trying to be funny just the way they said things , was hilarious to me , for some it’s natural, but to do it as an actor is like catching lightning in a bottle, and Mr Walken has done that many times ! Lol

    Chris Walken toured West Side Story and he had the privilege of working with Jimmy Dean's valentine crush. Once in a lifetime dream comes true. Shakespearian tragedy happened in real life. My condolences to the Wagner family in honour of the late unforgettable beauty, Natasha.
