When the actor was 15, he first saw Elvis Presley on TV and became inspired by his style. He dropped out in high school and landed more major theater roles. Walken also briefly trained at the Washington Dance Studio but chose to focus on acting. As a young actor, he steadily booked roles both in television and theater. He continued working in major theater roles, including in the off-Broadway production of Lemon Sky, which earned him a Drama Desk Award. Walken once revealed he rarely declines acting roles, viewing each as an opportunity to learn more.
