Christopher Walken is "very comfortable with silence". The 78-year-old actor stars in the new Stephen Merchant-created TV show 'The Outlaws', and Stephen has opened up about his experience of working with the Hollywood icon on the BBC series. Asked how he persuaded Christopher to join the show, Stephen shared: "It's very difficult to get in touch with him because he doesn't have email or a mobile, he only has an old landline phone.
