The mild-mannered Imperial Chancellor is played by the menacing Walken?
"We're gonna have a little... Q&A... and... at the risk of sounding redundant, please... make sure you're answers are genuine... how much food do you have in your granary?"

I'm not saying I play him
as Christopher Walken.... only that his face and demeanor fit those he usually shows. Especially the rare and weird smile.
