Mike’s Blog Round-Up
On this day in 1943, Christopher Walken showed up on planet Earth. Since then he has won many awards for his acting -- the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role 1979, (The Deer Hunter), the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role 2003 (Catch Me If You Can), the Obie Award for Performance 1981, 1975 (The Seagull, Kid Champion) and so forth. He can sing, he can dance, he's been a Bond villain, and, as a teenager, he worked for a summer in a circus as a lion tamer. He also wants more cowbell. Happy Birthday, Mr. Walken.
