Christopher Walken shines in new Bavarian car brand commercial: An 80‑year journey from Broadway to Dune

References to his memorable roles have been included in the latest advertisement for new electric cars from a well-known Bavarian brand.

Arguably, every actor - big or small, regardless of their country of residence - when faced with the fame that accompanies their role, encounters many fans who attempt to emulate their style, both in a positive and negative sense.

The advert encourages personal expression as demonstrated in Charles Wright's song. It features the actor, who is now 80 years old. Interestingly, the advertisement also stars Usher, a popular R&B singer from the 2000s.

Christopher Walken's acting career is extensive, covering theatre, television and film. Hailing from Astoria, New York, the actor is celebrated for his diverse array of roles in dramas, comedies and action films. His distinctive acting style has earned him recognition and appreciation from audiences the world over.

He made his Broadway debut in 1955. The turning point came with his role in Woody Allen's film "Annie Hall" (1977), where he portrayed Duane Hall, a role that garnered him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Meanwhile, thanks to his role in "The Deer Hunter" (1978), he earned his second Oscar nomination and critical acclaim.

Christopher Walken also starred in the music video for "Weapon of Choice" by the renowned British DJ and producer, Fatboy Slim. This track is familiar to Polish audiences primarily due to its inclusion in a commercial.

The actor is set to appear in the second part of "Dune" - a science fiction film based on Frank Herbert's namesake novel. The premiere in Poland is slated for early March.
