Christopher Walken has signed a deal to play Captain Hook in NBC's upcoming live Peter Pan Live musical.
The 71-year-old Oscar-winning star, who had begun his career with musicals, said that he had always wanted to be a part of this musical as a child and was glad to have put on his dance shoes for the project, People magazine reported.
