About Christopher Walken

Ronald P. Walken (born 31 March 1943), known professionally as Christopher Walken, is a distinguished American actor who has appeared in more than 100 movies and television shows, as well as music videos by several recording artists. Walken has received a number of awards and nominations during his career, including winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1978. He also added to his cultural icon status for his "more cowbell!" skit on Saturday Night Live. His notable voice and speaking style is often respectfully imitated by impressionists.

Named for actor Ronald Colman, Walken was born Ronald Walken in Astoria, Queens. His mother, Rosalie Russell (May 16, 1907 – March 26, 2010), was a Scottish emigrant from Glasgow, and his father, Paul Walken (October 5, 1903 – February 23, 2001), moved from Germany in 1928 with his brothers. His father owned and operated Walken's Bakery in Astoria, Queens. He was raised a Methodist.
