This is definitely not the best Walken impression that I've seen. I think both Jay Mohr and Marcus from Last Comic Standing sound more like him. This guy is a little too exaggerated in the mannerisms.

Exactly. His vocal range is a bit too exaggerated, as well. Walken is slightly more monotone while maintaining all the dynamics and expressiveness.

He does a better Shatner, but those are probably 2 of the most overdone impressions (with Jack Nicholson) of the past 15-20 years.

Pollack sounds the least like him, but his bits are generally the funniest. I find this to often be the case with people who do impressions. The ones with the spot on matches are generally the least funny. Their gift is for mimicry and not for comedy and the "jokes" simply revolve around using the impression to say things that are out of character of the real person.

Frank Caliendo is a good example IMO. I think he's gotten the idea he has more ability than he does, but there are a couple impressions he does that are impeccable. Still, the next time I laugh at one of his jokes will be the first time.

I always liked Kevin Spacey's impressions.

Yeah...that Madden is incredible.

I know what you mean though about the jokes not being as good as the impressions.
