Christopher Walken is best known for playing oddball roles in movies such as "The Deer Hunter", "Annie Hall" and "Seven Psychopaths but the veteran actor says he is nothing like the bizarre characters he often plays in films. The 69-year-old Oscar-winning actor said that he is much more normal than his acting roles would suggest, reported Digital Spy. "I've played a lot of strange, troubled, and sometimes destructive people, but before I got into the movies, I was a singer-dancer and did musical comedy. People get mixed up with the parts I play, but I'm really a very conservative guy. I've been married for almost 50 years and I lead a quiet life," Walken said. The actor is currently starring in "Stand Up Guys" as a former hitman who is hired by a crime boss to kill his former partner played by Al Pacino.
