by

For several decades, actors John Turturro and Christopher Walken have maintained a close friendship and will be appearing together in upcoming episodes of a suspenseful TV series. In an interview with People magazine, they fondly reminisced about amusing and endearing experiences from the production of their show.

During the shared interview, Turturro expressed that working alongside Walken is always a delight for him, and part of the reason is because it’s effortless to create an acting connection with this talented performer.

Later on, Walken questions the star of The Batman, “Does my presence bother you?” To which Turturro humorously replies, “Absolutely not, I’ve never found you annoying. Not at all.” In response, the actor from Click simply says, “I’m glad to hear that.

As our chat progresses, Turturro mentions, “I’ve noticed you enjoy it when my wife bakes banana bread for you. Should I perhaps bring something to contribute to our gathering and share a treat with you, knowing it would be appreciated?

He goes on to say humorously, “It turns out that sharing homemade pastries is quite significant – it’s why we’ve collaborated so frequently.

Turturro and Walken’s friendship goes way back when Turturro was studying for his graduate degree at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, and Walken was performing in the Yale Repertory Theatre. Looking back on those days, Turturro, the actor from Barton Fink, reminisced, “I recall I said hello to you. At the time, I was an usher, a student.

Walken remarked, “Then came our mission, ‘Search and Destroy.’ We put in countless hours during late nights to wrap up filming.

In Severance, Turturro takes on the character of Irving, while Burt Goodman is played by Christopher Walken. You can catch the second season of this series on Apple TV+.
