As the music starts, he starts bopping his head to the beat, and that characteristic Walken gleam enters his eye.He’s got a lot to gleam about; the man has more pizzazz than Mikhail Baryshnikov, Napoleon Dynamite, and Jennifer Lopez combined. Walken is inexplicably adroit, and appears to not even break a sweat. He darts from scene to scene with such natural exuberance, it’s a wonder no music video auteur has thought of casting him before.

As a member of Riyadh's city council, he vows, he would work to rebuild the capital's crumbling downtown into a modern urban hub. The setting and promise may lack pizzazz, but al Ammari jabs a forefinger into the air as he speaks, visibly thrilled to be a candidate in the Kingdom's first-ever nationwide election. Two days later, he is beaming after casting his ballot at a neighborhood school. ?It's great!? he exclaims. ?Finally, for the first time...
