Description
This week we begin our two part coverage on the King of the Character Actors: Christopher Walken. Known for his eccentric characters, out there line deliveries and the ease with which he switches from calm to chilling, Walken is one of the greatest living actors right now. Beginning with his Oscar-win for Best Supporting actor in the Vietnam war epic The Deer Hunter, we track his career through the ‘80s and into the early ‘90s. We look at the Stephen King adaptation The Dead Zone, the musical Pennies from Heaven and the crime thrillers At Close Range and King of New York.
