Who is the spookiest actor?

When I saw the title of this thread, the first person I thought of is Christopher Walken. I guess he's the popular choice.

 

[Wormwood]

Where';s the love for Angus Scrimm. At the very least, he wins the Best Horror Name Award*

* In case you're curious, Best Action Name: Wings Hauser. Best Dramatic Name: Powers Boothe

Yet another vote for Christopher Walken.

What I love about him is not just the creepiness--it's the completely wacked-out sense of humor he obviously has. Not just his SNL hostings (he's apparently been given an open invite to host whenever he likes), but the Fatboy Slim video he dances throughout just kills me. He's tweaked, and he knows it!

"Champagne?"

Christopher Walken, clearly. I saw the title of the thread and that's the first thing I thought of, before I clicked on it. Apparently I wasn't the only one.

Honorable Mentions to:
Dennis Hopper
Christopher Lee
Jack Nicholson

 

[Psionicist]

 

[GentleGiant]

Doug Hutchison - mostly as Eugene Victor Tooms in the X-Files, though. Creepy, creepy guy.

 

[Klaus]

Yeah, but picture Samara played by Christopher Walken!


RUUUNNNN!!!!!

Steve Buscemi. This guy just freaks me out. Though, that may partly be due to his role in Monsters, Inc.

Though Christopher Walken is definitely my number 1, I also thought of another actor on the fringe:

Billy Bob Thornton

I saw in a recent article, a photo of the wall outside his in-home recording studio. In the photo was a sign with a gun hanging from it. The sign said, "We don't call 911."

Christopher Walken, hands down. Just watch the Simpsons episode where he's reading children stories for proof!

If, like me, you're an aficionado of Christopher Walken and Christopher Walken impressions, you'll know that's actually Jay Mohr doing the voice.

Other well-known-actors-in-their-own-right who do a killer Walken are Kevin Pollack and Kevin Spacey. Spacey did a great "Walken auditioning for the part Han Solo" on Saturday Night Live once, made funnier by the fact that Walken was Lucas' second choice if he couldn't have Harrison Ford.

I vote Walken myself, obviously.
