[quote]Christopher Walken has been cast as Captain Hook in NBC’s upcoming live Peter Pan musical Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment, announced Sunday.
“I’m happy to announce today that Captain Hook will be played by Christopher Walken,” Greenblatt said at NBC’s Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills. “He’s fearless as a comedic actor and always comes to play. I guarantee you he will bring his own spin to Captain Hook, and it might be the first tap-dancing Captain Hook you’ve ever seen.”
Set to air December 4, Peter Pan follows last year’s success with The Sound of Music Live!, a TV event starring Carrie Underwood that drew 18.6 million viewers — and three times as many snarky tweets — when it aired in Dec. 2013.[/quote]

I genuinely had around 5 cutouts of Christopher Walken's face tacked to my wardrobe earlier this year as part of a gag that went to far. I miss the christopher wall-kens.

You did that so godamn well.
Do you think he'll be better than Dustin Hoffman's Hook?
If you don't walk off that plank, I will stab ya in the face with a soldering iron

Different, not necessarily [i]better[/i]. I think he'll probably be great. Possibly the only good thing in it, just like Dustin Hoffman in Hook, imo.
