I like Walken, he's scary, intimidating, funny, and a ball to watch on screen.
I caught his little cooking thing on Regis last Friday, and I'd watch a cooking show with him as host.
"Now Regis, this is the point where I put the rum in. Mainly because it starts a small fire!"

The Kevin Spacey Walken/Han Solo audition skit from SNL still ranks highly on my "funniest damn things I have ever seen on TV" list.

One of my favourites films with is "AT Close Range" with Sean Penn..that movie was so disturbing it haunted me for days..
As others have said he looks like a psycho but he`s got lots of charisma and charm

Ebert said it best in his review of Poolhall Junkies:
one of the few actors in movie history who always draws a quiet rustle of pleasure from the audience the first time he appears on the screen.

Because he is sooo damn cool!
The scene between him and Dennis Hopper in True Romance is truly classic. Plus, how many people can do such silly roles with an almost scary look of seriousness on their face?
I know he probably won't win the Oscar this year, but here's hoping.
