Stacks Walk

On Saturday Night Live, he was played by Dan Ackroyd with a side to side walk and when I saw that I did notice a certain way Stack walks. Can someone explain how that was done by Stack.

Stack's walk was a swagger of confidence.

Simply put, he was a badass.

And Ackroyd, being a huge Untouchables fan himself, rightfully poked fun at it.

He was a friend of John Waynes and he made a movie, The High and the Mighty, with Wayne, I think it's a modified John Wayne swagger. I call it the Eliot Ness stroll!!!
