He was excellent in Movies like "The Dogs of War,(he really captured the character of the mercenary created by Frederick Forsythe)and of course the classic"The Deer hunter".Dir by Michael Cimino,?. So many great films,which unfortunately the calibre of will not be seen again.. Mind you, u do have some good Series on HBO and the other cable and internet channels..

My girlfriend use to cut his hair. She said he was definitely quirky, very intelligent and tipped her for his $15 cut with $10. She ran a department store salon in Santa Monica and he liked shopping there while he waited for her. He was just a nice guy to everyone. My favorite was his Count character on SNL.

Christopher Walken always has this look in his eye like he knows a personal in-joke and is sharing it through eye contact with someone in the audience. One of my all-time favorite actors...I've enjoyed him in countless movies over the years. Dead Zone being my favorite - and At Close Range.

[@sandragill9916]
