He was a cool Han & Indie but as an actor, i've always thought his lines felt fake. I dunno, i like him and all but he never really convinces me. It just doesn't seem natural enough for my taste.

Paulie- It's in the way he delivers his lines. There's sometimes hesitation, other times he just dishes out too much intensity for what the dialog would require and sometimes he makes faces that don't quite fit with what he's saying. He's not a bad actor, just not a great one IMO. To each's own. I'd say he's on the same level as Nic Cage, personaly speaking of course.

Wow. One of the first interviews I've seen him in where did look completely uncomfortable or highly medicated. Walken as Han...that would have been weird.

GinGer23- Haha! Yeah, most of the time he's good, but in certain scenes... i dunno, he just seems weird sometimes. But hey, doesn't mean i would have prefered someone else as Han or Indie, don't get me wrong. As Paulie said, he truly did nail those ;)

@herofreak: Holy crap! That kid is actually pretty good!



We'll probably never get to see Walken's screen test, but here is Kevin Spacey on SNL doing an impression of same...
