Three Movies Starring Christopher Walken You MUST See!
1) THE DEER HUNTER - Walken won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as a Pennsylvania steel worker who enlists with several friends, is sent to fight in Vietnam and whose life is changed forever. The Russian roulette scene, where the friends are forced to play against each other, is a tour de force.2) PULP FICTION - Chris plays a small supporting role in this multiple storyline movie, but it's one of those gems of a part. He turns up in a flashback/dream, as the Army buddy of Bruce Willis' character's father. With all seriousness, he delivers a monologue about being a Vietnam POW and smuggling out the dead dad's watch via a bodily orifice, so that the son (Willis) could have it.
3) CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - Walken plays the father of Leonardo DeCaprio's character, a professional con man and imposter who passed millions of dollars worth of bad checks. Walken was nominated for another Best Supporting Actor Oscar for this role.

- "Our great country is in a terrible downward spiral. We're outsourcing jobs, bankrupting social security, and losing lives at war. We need to focus on what's important-- paying attention to our children, our citizens, our future. We need to think about improving our failing educational system, making better use of our resources, and helping to promote a stable, safe, and tolerant global society. It's time to be smart about our politics. It's time to get America back on track."

Hosting SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
Christopher Walken's appearances as the host of Saturday Night Live are truly original. Not only has he hosted multiple times, he's one of the few performers who has an outstanding offer to host once a year if he so desires. He almost always does some sort of song-and-dance routine as part of his monologue and he's the only host to have his own recurring chracter, The Continental.January 20, 1990 - Musical Guest, Bonnie Raitt
