Kevin Pollak as Christopher Walken[edit]

This is a small quote of Pollak's impersonation of Christopher Walken on the Bob and Tom radio program in October 2005:

"Frankenstein never scared me...

"but marsupials do....

"because they're fast!"

Kevin Pollak website is incorrect[edit]

his new website is kevinpollak.tv — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.154.16.197 (talk) 14:35, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On Pollak introducing Christopher Walken[edit]

I just wanted to note that Pollak has mentioned on another morning show (The Paul & Young Ron Show in south Florida) that his introduction of Walken took place for a celebration in honor of Walken's hand- and footprints being immortalized at the Mann's Chinese Theater. I have audio of the interview where he actually took a moment to cast aspersions on the Walk of Fame, claiming that anyone with any sort of career and $1200 can get a star on it. I do not know if this directly refutes what is currently posted on the article page or is merely a reference to another occurrence.

The Dark Ride 15:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above statement is correct. He said the same thing this morning ont he Bob and Tom show. I think that this should be corrected. 204.54.36.245 (talk) 13:26, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin Pollak as James T. Kirk[edit]

I think Pollak was the first major comedian to use... the now-familiar.......... pauses. It seems that most comedians since then are doing imitations of Kevin doing imitations of Kirk rather than actually imitating Kirk :) - 67.191.254.83 20:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Poker???[edit]

This article is part of WikiProject Poker, an attempt at building a useful poker resource. If you would like to participate, you can choose to edit the article attached to this page.

How is Pollak's article qualified to be part of WP Poker? I don't know if a run lasting less than a season on a celebrity poker show would qualify him for inclusion. The Dark Ride 03:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish[edit]

Currently, the article does not (yet) mention he's Jewish. I'm not sure if it's notable, but he called himself a "Jew" in an interview with ESPN The Magazine.^[1] --82.136.210.153 (talk) 06:30, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
