Christopher Walken Told Me How He Feels About His 'Severance' Character Using The Nickname Attila, And I Couldn’t Agree More

We’re now a couple of weeks past "Severance’s" ORTBO episode on the 2025 TV schedule, and while I’m still trying to shake off the nightmares of “Woe’s Hollow,” the latest offering of one of the most bingeable shows streaming right now proves that we Macrodats must remain on high alert. This is partially because Christopher Walken came back in a big way this episode, and we learned about his character’s nickname “Attila,” (also the episode title). He spoke to CinemaBlend about this nickname too, and I fully agree with Walken's takeaway.

The February 21 episode finally reunites us with Irving for the first time (not counting his watermelon-sculpted head) since his Innie’s “immediate and permanent dismissal.” More importantly, though, John Turturro’s Outie Irv is reunited with Burt, and we learn quite a bit about the “retired” O&D employee, including his reason for severing and that he and his husband call each other “Attila.”
