Letters to Christopher Walken

Why is Christopher Walken such a cult figure. Why does he inspire people to do such strange things as get a bunch of kids to write Letters to Christopher Walken. Some highlights include "I liked you in deer hunter. For christmas I want a tesla coil". WELL everyone wants a Tesla Coil for christmas don't they!!!! Well you ain't going to get it kid, because Walken is evil and instead will deliver the plague. mu hahahahhahah.
