[QUOTE=Argent Towers] 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. [/QUOTE] You’re right, he was, I popped in to mention it. Saturday Night Live once had a funny version of what the screen test must have looked like. _Walky_: [Last lines; Adrian snuck inside the ring] Walky: Adrian? Adrian: Rocky! Walky: [absently]Adrian. [pause] Hey, where’s your hat? Adrian: I love you! Walky: Did you see me…beat up that guy? I fell…down. On the mat. Adrian: I love you! Walky: [long pause] I love you…I love that hat, too. It…brings out your eyes. And that’s nice. Adrian: [grabs and hugs Rocky] I love you! Walky: [concentrating]I love you. I love you. [looks off]I love…bacon. What made me think of that? Adrian: I love you. I love you! Walky: [very long pause] Yeah. ---

Christopher Walken ( dyed blond like in _A View to a Kill_ ) as Colonel Wilhelm Klink on Hogan’s Heros. _That_ would change the tone of the show. Sergeant Shultz : “I know nothing !” Colonel Klink : “Ah, well.” \< pause \> \< BLAM \> Colonel Klink : “Unfortunate. Helga, have the body . . . disposed of.” ---

[QUOTE=Rico] Or better still, Christopher Walken as Stanley Kowalski in _A Streetcar Named Desire_. Can’t you just hear it now? **STELLLLAAAAAAAAAA!!!** [/QUOTE] [It’s been done!](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083325/) Pretty enjoyable, actually - and I’m not that big a fan of **Streetcar**. My turn! Chrstopher Walken **IS** all of the Mel Brooks roles in [Blazing Saddles!](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071230/) :happy Orthodox Jewish guy smiley saying “Losn gein!!”: Just think of your secretary! After seeing his performances on SNL, Walken could definitely do this. ---

How about Christopher Walken in the role of poet: Two mice fell in a bucket of cream A desperate fate, a struggle met The white flow a soft cold dream That pulled them down, a nightmare threat. One mouse drowned, a life submit The other thrashed, he wouldn’t quit His life was his, and strongly earned All the cream to butter, churned. I’ve earned your faith, a job, a house, As the mouse crawled out, to live his life. I’ve earned the love of my son and wife. I stand before you; I am that mouse. ---

Heh… Christopher Walken as Constable Benton Fraser on Due South. I’m just trying to picture him in the hat giving one of Fraser’s soliloquies, particularly the one about the Inuit mother giving birth on a glacier somewhere. ---

Christoper Walken _would_ make a helluva Bond, now that Craig’s gone and paved the road. Anyway, the thought that struck me with a fit of giggles is Christoper Walken as Kramer. Yeah, sorry.
