Adventure Game Scene of the Day — Wednesday 13 May 2015
Lots of well-known actors in Ripper, like John Rhys-Davies, Karen Allen, Meredith Burgess. And Christopher Walken, who gives a cringeworthy performance as Detective Magnotta. The way he delivers his lines, his facial expression, his gestures, everything is terrible. How is that possible, didn’t they pay him enough…? The guy in the leather jacket is Scott Cohen and he’s infinitely better as reporter Quinlan.

He clearly didn’t care and just rolled with it (like he does in a lot of commercial movies). Just terrible. Clearly just reading from off cue cards.

Walken is awesome even when he’s terrible.
He just doesn’t care, and in not caring he still has that typical Walken charm.
The payment probably wasn’t an issue - Walken is known for never turning down a role if he’s available, no matter how little he’s getting paid. You just never know in advance if he’s just there to have some fun, or if he’s there to act.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Wow, my impression is totally the opposite - this may not be the brightest example of a “Hollywood actor doing his best in a video game” (that one is reserved for another Christopher, Christopher Lloyd ), but not for a second I had that “forced role of a big star who doesn’t care” feeling.

Heh, I just took it as Christopher Walken doing his impression of Christopher Walken and liked it immensely. One of my favorite games, in fact.
By the way, CW fans ought to catch him in “Christopher Walken reads ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ ” on You Tube. It’s a hoot!
that “forced role of a big star who doesn’t care” feeling.
It’s never forced with Walken, though. But I don’t think he ever cares.

Dis gai… he’s un-FOCKing-believable.

Terrific, but needs more cowbell!

Christopher Walken is very fit for parodies.

I love how everybody is defending Mr Walken. It’s still bad acting!

The Christopher… Walken pauses are the… best… things that ever happened to… the… adventure live-action ... genre…

LOL! So that’s where Jonathan Boakes got his pauses from.
Unless he had cue cards.

The pauses could also have been William Shatner’s influence.
Walken just makes it creepier.
