He was born in Queens, New York and has been married to casting director Georgianne Walken since 1969.
Walken initially trained as a dancer in musical theatre before moving on to more serious roles in theatre and then film. A select number of his movies include dance moves that he has worked in, reflecting this early background.

In November 1981, Walken was on a yacht docked off of Catalina Island with Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood, when Wood drowned to death.
He is also a frequent guest on Saturday Night Live where he has a recurring character and sketch called "The Continental". Another skit for which Walken has become famous was a spoof recording session for Blue Φyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper." Playing Bruce Dickinson, a music producer, he repeatedly stopped the recording to request "More cowbell!" This sketch has become a huge cult hit.
He has also starred in two music videos. His first video role was as Madonna's guardian angel in her 1993 "Bad Girl" video, and the second appearance was in Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice video in 2001.
