A first introduction to a thoroughbred sociopath.
Happy birthday to Christopher Walken, who starred as Max Zorin in A VIEW TO A KILL.
Denzel Washington on working with a nine-year-old Dakota Fanning in Man on Fire (2004):
"Dakota is great, mature and very charming. I was trying to get into character so I was keeping my distance from her and so she told Tony that I wasn't talking to her, so she wouldn't talk to me either. I am convinced that she is actually 40."
She told on him. Then gave him the silent treatment right back. At nine.

23 years ago today, Christopher Walken hosted SNL and Colonel Angus made his debut.
I don't think it's said enough but the pause and then laugh when @raedratch says so nonchalantly, "Oh Colonel Angus, you old carpet bagger!" does not get the credit it deserves. #reels #trending #funny #funnyvideos
This was a high-stakes smile-off.

Movie: True Romance (1993) 🍿 (romance / thriller) 2h 1mins
Description:
True Romance is a 1993 American romanticcrime drama film directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino. It stars Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, with Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, and Christopher Walken in supporting roles. Slater and Arquette portray newlyweds who head to California.
True Romance began life as an early script by Tarantino; he sold the screenplay in order to finance his debut feature film, Reservoir Dogs(1992). It is regarded by proponents as a cross-section of writer Tarantino and director Scott’s respective trademarks, including a Southern California setting, pop cultural references, and punctuated by slow motion.
Though initially a box-office failure, the film’s positive reviews, with critics praising the dialogue, characters, and offbeat style, helped it earn a popular following. It has come to be considered one of Scott’s best films

On Saturday Night Live, Amy Poehler delivered a hilarious impression as a relative of Christopher Walken, perfectly exaggerating his distinctive speech patterns and intense pauses. The sketch placed the Walken family in an ordinary setting, letting Poehler amplify every odd cadence for maximum comedic effect.
Her performance stood out because she captured Walken’s rhythm without simply copying him. By blending accuracy with playful exaggeration, Poehler created a character that felt both familiar and absurd. The sketch remains a fan favorite, showcasing SNL’s talent for turning celebrity quirks into unforgettable comedy moments.
This intro feels unreal 😳
Christopher Walken stands front and center on the SNL stage, delivering his lines in that slow, intense voice while the Foo Fighters stand silently behind him. The band members stare straight ahead, barely moving, creating a strange, almost eerie atmosphere. Walken’s unique rhythm and serious tone clash perfectly with the awkward stillness of the group, turning a simple show intro into something oddly captivating and unintentionally hilarious.
What makes this moment go viral is how perfectly it captures early 2000s SNL energy and Walken’s unmistakable presence. Combined with one of the biggest rock bands of that era, it feels like a rare crossover frozen in time. Clips like this blow up because they highlight how unpredictable live television used to be.

Christopher Walken endures a parade of terrible impressions in BMW's latest Super Bowl 60 spot before the brand's legendary tagline saves the day. The 60-second commercial follows the iconic actor through everyday encounters where strangers can't resist doing their worst Walken voice. From coffee shops to dog parks, everyone thinks they've nailed his distinctive cadence. The payoff comes with BMW's classic "Ultimate Driving Machine" line delivered in perfect Walken style, reminding us there's only one original. BMW's betting that Walken's cultural staying power and their own brand legacy make for advertising gold. What do you think of this casting choice? #SuperBowlAds #ChristopherWalken #BMW
