I'm a huge Walken fan, but . . . has he ever played a straight role?

Of recent, I particularly enjoyed him playing the angel Gabriel in the fist "Prophecy" movie (before they got silly). I think he suits what Cary Grant once said, "I wish I could be Cary Grant".

Walken got his start on Broadway as a dancerin musicals. He was once in a show with Tommy Tune as part of a chorus of very tall guys (I think it was a musical version of Sherlock Holmes).
Alas, Walken seldom got the opportunity to hoof it on film.
- Walken admits that he works a dance "move" into every film he's ever been in . . he loves it. * - mr grits 06:35:54 07/25/06 (0)

Regular guy in that film. Also see "Who Am I This Time?" where he has a romantic role opposite Susan Sarandon (okay, I admit he's "damaged goods" in this one).
His gifts include great comedic acting. Nobody does better SNL shows than Walken. "A glass of fine French sham-paaay-ne before you go?"
