Biography
In a career spanning over five decades, iconic Academy Award winner Christopher Walken has his roots firmly planted in the world of theatre, having trained as a dancer in his native New York. After making his feature film debut in Sidney Lumet’s “The Anderson Tapes”, he went on to win an Oscar for his portrayal of a war distraught steel worker in “The Deer Hunter” costarring Robert De Niro and received a second Oscar nomination for his notable performance as Leonardo DiCaprio’s apologetic father in Steven Speilberg’s “Catch Me If You Can”.
Walken’s roster of credits range from darker cult classics like Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction” and Tim Burton’s “Sleepy Hollow” and “Batman Returns” to blockbuster comedies such as “Hairspray” and “Wedding Crashers”. Other memorable credits include Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall”, “True Romance,” and “King of New York.”
