The Big Picture It's impossible to not love Christopher Walken. A larger-than-life figure thanks to his eccentric on-screen persona, Walken has had a dynamic career unparalleled by any of his acting contemporaries. Starting as a prestigious Oscar-winning actor in the '70s and '80s, he unsuspectedly transformed into a fiery comedic presence thanks to Saturday Night Live tapping into his distinct charisma.
Long before he starred in the cinematic phenomenon of Dune: Part Two or announced his desire for more cowbell on SNL, Walken had aspirations to be a star and began to fulfill his passion by appearing as an extra on various anthology series and variety shows during the Golden Age of Television in the 1950s as a child. Even though he appeared in sketches alongside Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, he never got paid one cent, he told The Guardian in a career retrospective.
Walken's task as the caretaker of Sheba the Lion is not as daunting as it appears. In an interview with Indiewire, the actor stated that his job was more or less "fake." Walken described that his job was a supplement to the act of the circus owner, who would perform impressive stunts with multiple big cats. Walken, who posed as the owner's son, resorted to haphazardly interacting with his lion to perform minor tricks.
