was Keven Spacy doing Christopher Walken auditioning the role of Captian Kirk for the origional Star Trek...

to die for...

yes, CW brings something thrilling to his roles...lots going on under the surface, usually covered with an artificial smile or simply a hanging stare that broadcasts a carefully controled emotional tempest that he might unleash violently at any moment. it's when he doesn't let go that he's at his most malevolently brilliant. I think that's why he's so good at humor...it's the unease of knowing it's opposite is just there...we are relieved and yet ever wary.
