Can he actually act?

I love this guy but no matter what role he's in I can never take him seriously enough to be able to tell if he's actually acting well, apart from Man on Fire where he toned down his goofy a bit. So does he actually act well, or is he just extremely goofy?

He was also very intimidating in his classic True Romance scene. Walken is one of the greats. A lot of idiot filmmakers just cast him into quirky roles because that's all they know about his personality. I'd love to see a serious role from him again.
