Christopher Walken…a very gifted actor…a commanding presence on screen. The saying goes..”beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and I for one think he is beautiful, his captivating eyes, boyish grin and the way he moves so gracefully, I’m glad he’s here.

Who are they trying to fool when they cast him as an Italian/Sicilian-American? That’s like having Brad Pitt play a Greek!
