Christopher Walken's Television Projects |
Julius Caesar
The four-hour epic miniseries
Julius Caesar premiered on TNT during June 2003. The film was
dedicated to the memory of Richard Harris who passed away a few months after filming was completed in October,
2002. Harris was
brilliant in his final role as the tyrannical dictator, Sulla.
Both Jeremy Sisto and Chris North were terrific as Caesar and Pompey
respectively; and Christopher Walken burned with intensity as the heated
orator, Marcus Cato, senior member of the Roman senate and
rival to Caesar.
