Oh, and it was said in another thread a while back, and it’s hardly a movie or TV show, but Christopher Walken as the G-Man from Half Life. ---

[QUOTE=Rico] Christopher Walken as Terry Malloy (Brando’s role) in _On The Waterfront_. Or better still, Christopher Walken as Stanley Kowalski in _A Streetcar Named Desire_. Can’t you just hear it now? **STELLLLAAAAAAAAAA!!!** [/QUOTE] Heck, Christopher Walken as Sky Masterson from _Guys and Dolls_, as long as we’re talking Brando. I think Mr. Walken would be absolutely perfect in this, considering his musical background. For example: "I am not putting the knock on dolls. It’s just that they are something to have around only when they come in handy… like cough drops. " Can’t you hear that in Christopher Walken’s voice? Now, if we can all de-age him about twenty or thirty years . . . ---

I think Christopher Walken WAS actually one of the possible choices to play Han Solo, along with Nick Nolte. The latter I could see, but not Walken. ---

**Law and Order** is due for a new first-chair ADA. “In New York City’s war on crime, the people are represented by two separate–but equally important–groups: the police, who arrest offenders, and the District Attorneys, who bring in more cowbell, baby!” **Walken and Baldwin go to White Castle** Also, he’d make a kick-ass Voldemort! ---

**Passion of the Christ** opher Walken- “It is you who…have said this… what Mel? Aramaic? I thought those were typos.
