Did you ever see Walken as "The Continental" on SNL? Too funny for mere words. The man is a huge talent.

THe continental was the one he was doing and could no longer offer french appetizers.

The last few weeks of SNL have been pretty good, Their U.N. skit 2 weeks ago was priceless, and right after that in the same show they portrayed the inti-war protestors for what they are, Anti-everything

I've only seen Walken as a hard-hearted villian - on screen. I thought he was playing himself. This is an eye-opener!

Yes, the "Continental" on skit on SNL -- hilarious!

He has complained that he always gets weirdo acting roles because evidently he's just a really nice average guy. He's been married to the same woman for eons and keeps a low profile in "real" life.

I also loved him in Annie Hall, where he played Diane Keaton's wacko brother who drove Woody and Annie to the airport in the rain. That, too, was priceless!

Hi Travis,

I was thinking the same thing when I read the title to this thread. 'The Continental' skit has to be among my all time favorite comic routines - it had me doubled up with laughter. Christopher Walken is great (and the funny thing is that I don't think he's ever played a comic role in any of his movies...).
