Personal Life
Walken married Georgianne Walken (née Thon) in 1969; she is a casting director, notably for The Sopranos. They live in Wilton, Connecticut and have no children. (Walken has stated in interviews that not having children is one of the reasons he has had such a prolific film career). They also have a vacation home on Block Island, Rhode Island. In regard to his villainous roles preceding him when meeting new people, Walken said, "When they see me in a movie, they expect me to be something nasty .... That's why it's good to defy expectations sometimes."
