Cool Cat: The Nine Lives of Christopher Walken, Movie Star and Feline Fan
Parade ^ | July 22, 2016 | Neil Pond

Christopher Walken likes to watch.

If that gives you the willies, you’re probably thinking of the Oscar-winning actor’s more unsettling roles—he’s played sadists, murderers, madmen, mobsters, mercenaries, psychopaths, evil masterminds and extremely messed-up Vietnam vets in the course of a career that began in the early 1950s.

“I have played a lot of villains,” he admits.

But what Walken likes to watch is just outside the windows of his home in rural Connecticut, on the cusp of a nature preserve, where he’s lived with his wife, Georgianne, a Hollywood casting director, for nearly 40 years.

“There were four deer in the driveway this morning,” he says. “There were turkeys here yesterday. My wife saw a snake in the driveway the other day. Hummingbirds come every day almost to the minute. They come right up the window and stare at me. It’s almost as though they know I’m there.

I have brought that up before.....very few people remember Christopher Walken from Annie Hall. He creeped me out then, just as he does in lots of roles now.

I haven't seen many of his movies but I have seen him on SNL and he is hysterical! I wish he would do more comedy. I'll probably see this latest movie.

Annie’s disturbed young brother - didn’t even think he was acting, just being real. ;)

Walken had a small part in Man on Fire with Denzel and brought subtle humanity to a relentless story of violence and hopelessness with redemption in the end.

The cat breed in the newest Christopher Walken film looks to be a Ragdoll. He (or she) appears to be a lynx point mitted bi color.

“I was disappointed when Trump didn’t pick Walken as his Vice-President.”

Funny you should say that... someone was saying that Trump and Walken have a good deal in common, particularly in their personality... crediting it to the fact that they grew up in the same neighborhood in the same era.

9 comments on that site to the article and all about animals. Not one mention of his comments of the American Dream come true. THAT’S what’s wrong with the country.
