Always a favorite, "The Continental" from SNL, "The Man with a plan" from "Things to do in Denver when you're dead", the mouse catcher in " Mouse Hunt", etc, etc...

Every role a classic.

Nobody does it better.

I forgot to mention..I saw CW in person in the 70s on a Seattle Stage playing Hamlet.
We wore all gold...
Totally going against the normal gloom of the character.

Just like Jerry Orbach and James Caan.

Famous tough guy Caan did a song-and-dance number in a film once, and fans kept telling him: "I didn't know you could sing and dance!"

His reply: "Nobody ever asked me to. It's always: 'Here, punch this guy.' "

onto the door of the brewery's cold room, so we could tell everyone we have a 'Walken cooler'.
