Christopher Walken needs no introduction. He's one of the most recognizable actors of all time, having built a unique career for himself by playing oddballs and weirdos. With his idiosyncratic line delivery and unique facial features, Walken is one of those actors who elevates any film he's in, even if he shows up for only one scene. Born in 1943, Walken began his showbiz career at a young age, appearing as a child actor extra in various TV shows. While never a traditional leading man (although George Lucas did consider him for Han Solo in "Star Wars," believe it or not), Walken developed a style all his own.
