@writeseen: Christopher Walken has one of the most recognisable voices in cinema. In this 2003 interview with Charlie Rose, he explains where that unmistakable rhythm comes from. When Christopher Walken prepares a script, he reads only his own lines first… searching for rhythm through voices, impressions and sounds. His background as a dancer shaped the way he approaches acting. Dialogue has timing. Movement. Tempo. Then another actor enters the scene and the rhythm begins to change. From The Deer Hunter and Pulp Fiction to Catch Me If You Can, that approach helped create a cadence audiences recognise instantly. Christopher Walken’s philosophy? If it sounds right, it is right.
