An American Abroad

Academy Award winner Christopher Walken, 78, takes on his first lead in a British television show in the six-episode dramedy The Outlaws (April 1 on Amazon Prime Video). He plays Frank, an American living in England who becomes involved with a dangerous criminal gang. “He’s kind of a ne’er-do-well, a good man who’s good-hearted and goodnatured,” says Walken, whose numerous movies include The Deer Hunter, Catch Me If You Can, Jersey Boys and Hairspray. “But he’s made a lot of mistakes.”
