Do any other aspies listen to him and try to impersonate his unique manner of speech, convinced that the key to having an inflected voice lays somewhere in the wide open spaces between his words? Does anyone else feel awe at how easily he can dance around the cadences of a sentence, compared to one's own sometimes bland delivery?

To Christopher Walken, even William Shatner must sound robotic and monotone.

In an article I saw recently about him, the reporter tried to write Walken's responses as accurately as possible. Perhaps the crowning example is this: while Walken cooked for the reporter in his kitchen, he delivered a small rant about tomatoes:

Quote:

I DON'T. Buy the tomatoes with. The stems. On them. They don't. Degrade. They go. Down the sink. And into the WATER. Then. They get lodged in the throats of little. OTTERS.

I find it impossible to read that without hearing it in Walken's voice.

Can't say I do. He does have a nice way of speaking though.

It's hard to do a good Walken impression.
Just about anyone can do Shatner.

Love Christopher Walken. I don't try to imitate him and I think that would be nearly impossible. I tend to enjoy big personalities with distinct styles - Chris Walken doesn't just act. He's just bigger than life. We need more of those.

Meh. Had to google him to know who he is, so no. Can't say he has much of an influence on me.

He is one of my favorite actors, and I absolutely love the way he speaks. It's so, nice.
