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 find his performances mesmerizing.

It’s such a testament to his acting that Willem has one of the most distinctive, recognizable faces and voices in Hollywood, yet he STILL manages to completely disappear into his roles.

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
The Lighthouse was such a crazy yet amazing masterpiece of a film.

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.

Agree- I actually like it’s inclusion. I don’t remember hearing a ton of helicopters in the film, but things like that just kinda add to the immersion. That’s super important for a movie like Florida Project
Such an under appreciated INSANELY talented actor. One of the best dramatic actors of our generation of cinema tbh. So many nuances brought to so many extraordinary but ENTIRELY different roles throughout his career. I love this man.
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.

Spider-Man will always be the best.🙏🎃

He is such a genuine performer and person. Gotta love Willem.
He’s such a good and talented actor. No one can play green goblin like he can
This needs to be 20 minutes longer
'THE LAUGH' he nailed it!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂
The way he talks about the process of making of these movies, the behind the scenes and his thought process of how he approaches his roles just really demonstrates how much he loves what he does, he's amazing ★
I could listen to Willem talk about the art and creative process of filmmaking and acting forever. He's so eloquent and passionate
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.
Such a great actor the lighthouse is 1 of my favourite movies
Him fanboying over the lil pigeon actor was my favourite part what a joy HAHA

It’s amazing how passionate he is. He has such an adoration for his craft.
My favorite actor. Th fact that he never won an Oscar (especially for the lighthouse) is a crime
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 can be friendly and scary with the same intensity in his roles, great actor, one of my favorites btw
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!
what a treasure this guy
I love wilem dafoe so much he’s such a happy and humble person.
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!
Willem Dafoe screaming at a pigeon goes so hard
Willem is such a national treasure.
Excellent series
You can tell he loves his job
love this guy and have no idea how they didn't give him an oscar yet. he should be nominated in poor creatures instead of mark
Willemstad Dafoe is a true professional. We need more actors like him. Someone who actually acts. Not someone who just gives the same performances in every movie

That movie is so dumb and bro-y, and yet so much fun to watch.
This man is such a talent
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!
