American newspapers claimed that Walken played Nick as "the incarnation of the young American generation traumatized by the war."
Walken first appeared on camera when he was 14 months old. He appeared naked and two cats on a large fashion calendar. When he was a child, he was different from other children. Because he was an immigrant, he listened to different languages and eat different things, and his vision was also broader. At that time, one of his brothers always took part in the filming, and when he couldn't go, he was asked to be a substitute, because their voices were almost the same, which is why he was in the film.
When he was 10 years old, his actor's nature was formed, and there were so many shows waiting for him. When Walken hasn't put his mind on performance, he thinks he belongs to dance. He likes jazz. At the age of 15, he spent the summer traveling with a circus like a lion trainer. When the circus boss and chief trainer finished the performance, he pretended to be the boss's son and ran into the cage to perform as a lion training.
Walken has also done it in his own bakery. His father is a workaholic and has no holidays. His father loved his job, and as a result, his bakery became a legend in Queens. Walken and his brother often help in the store, and this experience has affected him so far.
He has been criticized countless times for the selection of roles, this is because many of the movies he chooses are bad movies. But in fact he is used to working non-stop. Work to death like a shark. And he loves work. Because at the beginning he helped his father make him feel very happy. Except for times, he drove very slowly, because the memory of guaranteeing that there would be no bumps when delivering the cakes was still in his mind.
After graduating from the children's professional school, Walken entered Hofstra University to study English literature, but it did not last long. Less than a year after his studies, he was cast in the role of Dutch Miller in the 1963 musical "Give Others a Good Impression", and has since left school to perform on stage with the young Liza Minnelli. As people say, dance is Walken's treasure. In many subsequent movies, he danced or turned his body from time to time, as if to remind the audience that he was like this. Then Walken took a new name. He got a job singing and dancing with two other people in a French nightclub in Monique Van Vooren. Monique is a real catwalk star, and she later appeared in Andy Warhol's "Do It Yourself". At the end of Monique's performance, she introduced these singing and dancing people. Finally one night, she decided as a heroine that Walken should not be called Ronald, but should be called Christopher. So, Christopher Walken appeared.
In 1964, Walken took over "West Sid Story" and played a young thug dancer Riff. At this time he met his wife Geogianne Thon in life, who played Riff's girlfriend. They were married in 1969 and have not had any children until now.
1965 looked like a turning point for Walken. At the time he was playing a killer in a Sherlock Holmes called " Baker Street ". Acting as King Philip in "The Lion in Winter" staged at the Ambassador Theatre. He immediately succeeded and won the clarence derwent award. He continued to play Claudio in " Measure for measure " and Jack Hunter in "Rose Tattoo" by Tennessee Williams, and was therefore considered to be the most promising person in the performance industry .
It seems that the young Walken is going well, but there are some problems with the lack of formal performance experience. Fortunately, under the influence of his father's working principles, these setbacks can only make him stronger. Later, he expanded to learn a lot of things. Walken in 1969 looked like a traveler. He played Rosencrantz in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" written by Tom Stoppard in Florida, the State of the USA , starred in "Chronicles of Hell" in Ann Arbor returning to the east, and previously starred in Santiago de Chile as Mark Antony and Macduff. . In 1970 he participated in Lemon Sky in Chicago , and the following year he returned to Chicago, where he won the Joseph Jefferson Award for starring in "The Night Thoreau Spent In Jail". After returning to New York, he also acted in "Cymbeline". This work heralded what was about to happen. He played Caligula for the Yale Theater Company. After that, he appeared on the screen and became a real movie actor. At the same time he is continuing his musicals, stage plays and comedy performances.
In October 2016, Christopher Walken joined the crew of the comedy "Grandfather Wars" and starred in rival roles with De Niro.
