I Know That Face

Journey with us, if you will, into the 1990s and beyond to the 21st century as we continue our exploration of Christopher Walken's career. In Part 2, Andrew and Stephen discuss Walken's iconic cameos in True Romance and Pulp Fiction as well as his lead role in Abel Ferrara's The Funeral and his henchman turn in Nick of Time. Then in the 21st century they look at Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can, Tony Scott's Man On Fire and Martin McDonagh's Seven Psychopaths.

This week we begin our two part coverage on the King of the Character Actors: Christopher Walken. Known for his eccentric characters, out there line deliveries and the ease with which he switches from calm to chilling, Walken is one of the greatest living actors right now. Beginning with his Oscar-win for Best Supporting actor in the Vietnam war epic The Deer Hunter, we track his career through the ‘80s and into the early ‘90s. We look at the Stephen King adaptation The Dead Zone, the musical Pennies from Heaven and the crime thrillers At Close Range and King of New York.

The midnight hour is close at hand this week on I Know That Face as we take a deep dive into horror films starring Vincent Price. The Merchant of Menace is best known for a string of Edgar Allen Poe adaptations produced and directed by Roger Corman in the early ‘60s but his output extends from Universal Horror in the 1940s all the way to the early work of Tim Burton. Price starred in horror hits such as House of Wax, Witchfinder General and Theatre of Blood. Non-horror fans may know him best from the monologue in Michael Jackson's Thriller or as Professor Rattigan in The Great Mouse Detective.

I Know That Face returns! We're champions of the underappreciated here and few other actors feel as underappreciated as Djimon Hounsou. A commanding and authoritative presence, Hounsou has appeared in movies such as The Island, Never Back Down, The Legend of Tarzan, Guardians of the Galaxy and Shazam! However, his most soulful work is in films such as Blood Diamond, Gladiator and In America. If you're as excited for Gladiator 2 as we are, this episode is worth your time.

On our last episode before our annual summer break, we talk about the career of the legendary Ernest Borgnine. A naval officer through the war years, he turned to acting after his discharge and within a decade had won the 1956 Best Actor Oscar for Marty. The actor was relied on as an unconventional lead and a supporting player for many in such films as Bad Day at Black Rock, The Dirty Dozen, The Wild Bunch, The Poseidon Adventure and Hustle. Some listeners may note a decline in audio quality in this episode, this was due to some technical issues on our end but rest assured our dulcet tones will return this summer!
