Walken on the Web - The Christopher Walken Fan Site: Theater Credits

promo shot for "James Joyce's The Dead" (2001)

Although Christopher Walken was introduced to a whole new generation when he tap-danced his way through Spike Jonze's award-winning music video for Fat Boy Slim's "Weapon of Choice," long-time Walken devotees are quite familiar with Chris's roots in musical theater. From dancing in "Best Foot Forward" with Liza Minnelli, through his dramatic turns in "Caligula," "Sweet Bird of Youth," and "Othello," Chris has compiled a lengthy list of stage credits.

After a five-year absence from the footlights, Chris received a Tony nomination in 2001 for his portrayal of Gabriel Conroy in the musical adaptation of "James Joyce's The Dead."
