A young-ish Christopher Walken appears in Annie Hall but his name is misspelled in the credits as ?Christopher Wlaken?. Were this 1990, I might have invented a eastern European backstory for Wlaken, who, perhaps, Americanized his name sometime after appearing in the film. But as we live in the future, a cool hunk of glass and metal from my pocket told me ? before the credits even finished rolling ? that the actor was born Ronald Walken in Astoria, Queens.
The future isn?t any fun sometimes.
