This guy is an actor’s actor. He always takes on his roles as high art. I don’t think that he has once thought about the fame and notoriety of being a big star - he is an artist producing fine art: he uses his whole body and mind in bringing his characters to life.

I think that's just your perception of it. He was no more excited to talk about Spider-Man than any of the others.

It's easy to notice how much effort and detail he puts into every role - and he is delighted to do so. Maximum respect to a complete actor and what a voice to tell stories.

You really can't get much cooler than Willem Dafoe.

Willem Dafoe is highly rated as an actor. Yet, he's still underrated.

The Florida Project was a devastatingly beautiful film, everyone did such a great job. Definitely worth a watch.

he's an actor thats definitely wasnt on my fav list as a youngster but completely adored him as i grew older! absolute class of a person and actor

Willem Dafoe is very humble, honest, knows and is highly detailed with his craft and methods in acting. I think he deserves a Kennedy Honor Award. I hope the Academy honors him sometime within the next five years. We have lost so many great celebrities before they were given recognition they deserved, some that never received a Kennedy Honor Award that I believe deserved one.

His description of how he just “let’s” his face do it’s thing is akin to how jazz musicians just relax and find there groove.

@@szewei85 Let's be honest, the Oscar is just an award that only Hollywood sycophants care about. It used to mean a lot more than it does today.

What a legend. Every one of these films are iconic and in no little part due to how his performances enhanced the film. Also the helicopters in orlando are just a piece of everyday. They did a good job showing how rough life can be around here for people.

I am REALLY glad that alongside the blockbuster stuff, they got him to react to two of his VERY best, yet incredibly different performances of his career in The Lighthouse and The Florida Project respectively. So cool.

Every interview Willem does, feels like a masters class on acting. A true performer

He love that green goblin role so much

I like to think that scene where he starts laughing he is actually in a lot of pain, but he knows he is about to break Peter's morals so it makes him happy.

Spider-Man is so raw. He’s basically one of the first on-screen anime villains in western film, so good.

His joy for performance is palpable. Love this dude.

Love how passionate he is about what he does. Describes his performances as "Just natural" and "Just music" with a huge smile on his face. He's obtained a level of love and appreciation for the craft that not many get to.

He’s such a fine actor and seems so warm-hearted outside the acting

this should be a continuous series - just Willem talking about scenes - would watch that endlessly

Willem is such a delightful person and an excellent actor!

Right in time for the 4k special edition Blu-ray of The Lighthouse to release.

I love him in boondock saints. His character is great. I'm happy they are making a third one. Of course he is iconic as goblin

Could he write a book about anything and read it? I would buy it instantly. Amazing actor, storyteller and all around awesome dude. One of the greats!

No matter how many times I watch it, I always get giddy when watching him as Norman/Green Goblin. He portrays the character so well it's insane!

Fun that you can hear his Florida accent come out when he talks about getting into the movie as a "regular person" and not an "actor." Gives you an insight into how an actor works.

it’s so good to see he’s studied his craft to be a master but is still humble, he’s crediting all his other talent on the films, whether they’re in front or behind the camera, and he still seems keen and energetic enough to have a long career ahead of him!
