Seems a very nice guy!
What an iconic voice
Sad he got killed in John Wick
He can be the best joker ever
He was awesome in the Boondock Saints
Most Underrated actor of all time. Genious
Was waiting for The English Patient. Got Mr Beans Holiday….
To Live and Die in LA is a great movie. It is like that unknown band you liked before they made it big. I use many of the lines of that movie in my daily life. "Right there fella" for example. Anyway, I feel so close to that movie. I was living in LA, my mom was dating a guy who "made money" and went to prison for it. When he was introduced as "a printer" I thought he did something with books or magazines. I remember seeing his printing machine, was exactly like the one in the movie. DaFoe was amazing as a bad guy, I can see why he would be concerned about being type-cast, especially since he was so young back then. One scene where he starts laughing as the scene trails off and ends, I swear he was really laughing at something and thought the scene was over – it was just so authentic. I still remember the bomber jacket his "muscle" guy wore. Whatever you do, make sure you don't watch the alternate ending, before you watch the real movie. OMG! As much as love the movie, and the main ending is a little vague and confusing(by design), I hate that fake alt ending, and of course, Mr. Friedkin did too. You can totally tell he was forced to make it by the studio. I am so happy that DaFoe has had an amazing career, but he will always be super-cool-bad-guy, Rick Masters, to me.
No Speed 2?
What is the French phrase he uses when discussing Antichrist?
I love this man.
I'm a great fan of him. Definitely, one of the bests actors that I know. Versatile, expressive, unique. Love him
Damit he needs to play a joker
My favorite movie with him was The Hunter.
I know that's the classic actor chair or whatever film chair, but can we get a legend like Dafoe something more comfortable? Looking at that chair hurts my spine
What about they grand Budapest hotel?
William dafriend
You got to love these dopey actors that thing they are making a contribution to society. We all see through their lib tard posturing.
His sinister grin is perfect for a evil villan.
I love that he doesn’t talk all artsy like the rest of the actors they interview
I like platoon more than any others
I like the fact that he's kept those front teeth.
Love his voice! And that Green Goblin laugh is just epic!!
I think you are brilliant and a true artist Willem Dafoe. If you read this, can you PLEASE give the Joker a whirl??
No Streets of Fire, or John Wick?
I was waiting for BODY..!!! lol… not kidding tho!
Somehow I'm thinking of Nick Nolte who dropped out of the movie A Life Aquatic
what an underrated actor….and what a missed opportunity on joker
