    One thing I truly appreciate about Willem Dafoe is the fact that unlike other Actors, he appreciates the art of a performance. Its not just another acting gig, but a artwork in his portfolio. He enjoys the behind the scenes aspects, and really performs in a vast range of films. He really enjoys the art of performing, someone who really loves and knows alot about their job, but also is fascinated in the writing and directing side of things. It's not just about him performing, but he understands what goes into a film and the effort it requires and how he wants to do his best at fulfilling the creators creative intention. A true inspiration in the acting world.

    I met Mr Dafoe at a wedding many years ago in Brooklyn. I teach religion at a private school and was always intrigued by his death pose in Platoon when he opens his arms as he is dying. In my conversation with Mr. Dafoe, I asked him he was trying to achieve a Christ like scene as his character was killed because he stood up for others, he said, “you know, I never thought about but in retrospect I probably was on some level looking at his death in christ like way” Pretty cool stuff. Mr. Dafoe was incredibly kind and generous with his time especially with someone asking him introspective questions at a wedding reception!

      When you have money like him, you look for films that you might at least enjoy making, even if it fails.

    Only David Lynch would look at Willem DeFoe and think “let’s make your teeth look even weirder.” I love both of them and seeing DeFoe being directed by Lynch was incredible.

      In his private life he is perverse. It's only in his interviews and in public that he acts normal. That's why he is so good in his movies.

    The ThanksGiving scene in Spiderman 1 really demonstrates how well those movies handle implementing comedy in dramatic scenes without breaking the tension of the scene completely, a lot of it is visual comedy and not in your face like the mcu can be sometimes.

    THANK YOU for covering Shadow of the Vampire, it's such an underrated movie (still drives me crazy that it's not out on Blu-ray yet) and just beautifully shot. "She has a beautiful bosom" came off so funny when he's supposed to be this scary monster, ha ha. Loved his performances in John Wick and American Psycho. And Streets of Fire, amazing also.

    Willem Defoe reminds me of another great actor Peter O'Toole. Both with so much talent and dedication to their craft. Their stage presence and voice control dares the audience not to listen or look away for a single moment.
