Christopher Walken's Television Projects

Julius Caesar

The four-hour epic miniseries Julius Caesar premiered on TNT during June 2003. The film was dedicated to the memory of Richard Harris who passed away in October, 2002, a few months after filming on Caesar ended. Harris was brilliant in his final role as the tyrannical dictator, Sulla. Both Jeremy Sisto and Chris North were terrific as Caesar and Pompey respectively; and Christopher Walken burned with intensity as the heated orator, Marcus Cato, senior member of the Roman senate and rival to Caesar.

Weapon of Choice

During 2001, Chris could be seen on MTV and VH1 dancing in Fatboy Slim's music video, Weapon of Choice.

The music video would go on to win a number of awards, and in April 2002, VH1 announced that Weapon of Choice was voted the best music video of all time!

Chris has hosted Saturday Night Live a total of five times since 1990, which makes him a member of SNL's prestigious "Five Timers Club." On February 22, 2003, Walken hosted the show for a sixth time.
