Part 4/8:
Walken’s role in The Dead Zone (1983) showcases his ability to convey deep internal conflict. Portraying Johnny Smith, who is burdened with psychic visions after a coma, Walken's character undergoes a transformation from a warm, vibrant presence to a haunted individual struggling with the weight of foreseeing tragedy. This chameleon-like shift in expression reveals the depth of his talent, and his haunting gaze resonates long after the scene fades.
