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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I had to find out if Willem has an Oscar and I was blown away at the fact that he actually doesn't have one! The mastery he demonstraded in this video was just out of this world, he knows what he is doing, he obviously cares for his craft and it completely shows !
Dafoe is one of the best acting teachers alive as well. He knows it all. His advice about how he doesn’t think about his face when he is acting is amazing. You can look ridiculous trying to hard to convert your face to an emotion. Just express that emotion as genuinely as you can and the rest will follow.
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.
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 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.
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 ★
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.
There are a handful of actors that NEVER give a bad performance. He's one of them. As far as I can tell, he is fundamentally incapable of sucking at his job.
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
Dafoe spent over 20 years helping run a small theatre company. Even when he didn’t need the money for years and was a busy actor he stick around to teach acting.
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!
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.
Not just any actor could pull off what Dafoe did in Inside. That is a showcase performance piece for him. Not necessarily for every audience but it does all rest on him.
DeFoe acted at the Steppenwolf theatre in Chicago and made it big, while the great Director, Joel Gersmann was producing avant garde theatre in Madison, Wisconsin. Joel didn’t sell out to the money in New York. I was there when he got an opportunity. Money turned art in America into entertainment.
It's a complete travesty that he has not won a single Oscar, BAFTA, Globe or SAG award... in almost every role he's ever done, he pulls it off brilliantly. Love Willem Dafoe! He is amazing!
Summary of movie "Inside (2023)" starring "William Dafoe" Can we summarize the movie based on climax in one liner. That is-> Summary "Think outside the box"
I didn't think Antichrist would be in here, but honestly his performance in that movie is worth mentioning. Very dark movie though. Also, At Eternity's Gate, and the first Spider-Man.
He got robbed of an Oscar nomination for The Lighthouse. Hands down.
I disagree.
He was robbed of an Oscar win! The fact he wasn’t even nominated is a downright crime
Oscars are allergic to horror

Completely agree
It’s insane how well Dafoe slipped back into Green Goblin after 20 years, like he did Spider-Man 1 the day before.
His performance as Green Goblin is the best Spider-Man movie villain ever put to screen man
@@mickeymouse7726 Alfred Molina is a very close second.
@@mickeymouse7726 So good he was Spidey’s greatest nemesis across two separate universes.
I want him as Joker!
@hyperdeath84 Very good point.
I felt like Holland's Spider-Man couldn't handle a hard PG-13 Maguire villain. Dafoe killed it. As always.
The Lighthouse was such a good movie, Willem and Robert were fantastic
I agree 😊
"Good" hmm...well, I DO remember it! = a GOOD thing these days, right?
beyond good ;)
Should've released the colored normal ratio version, I just don't understand the appeal of a black and white movie...

He’s honestly probably the greatest American actor working today, if you consider how long he’s been working and how consistent he’s been
His acting in "The Lighthouse" is arguably one of the most underrated yet amazing achievements in recent cinematic history
Really? How so
underrated? lol
@@venomtangfirst tell me by what metric do you measure acting ability, and then I'll break down how so
@@Al3XB85 to where you momentarily forget you're watching a movie because you're so involved in the characters situation
@@venomtang so what performance do you consider to be more mesmerising than Willem Defoe's performance in the ligthouse?
I could watch Willem watch movies all day, He's a class act
If you only watched movies with Willem Dafoe in them you’d be satisfied! 😁
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.
"The laughs just come" amazing and terrifying
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.
The way he just lights up when he talked about Green Goblin.
I think that's just your perception of it. He was no more excited to talk about Spider-Man than any of the others.
Willem Dafoe is highly rated as an actor. Yet, he's still underrated.
You really can't get much cooler than Willem Dafoe.
The Florida Project was a devastatingly beautiful film, everyone did such a great job. Definitely worth a watch.
I could watch 30 hours of Dafoe in a chair talking about movies he’s done.
Dafoe could make 30 hours of sitting in a chair reading the phone book compelling
I could watch 30 hours of Dafoe talking about chairs he sat in for certain roles
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.
One of the not just greatest actors but greatest human beings that’s ever graced this Earth.🙏
stop idolizing celebrities because you like their acting and personality on camera, he is not your friend. Nerd
Do you think actors are the only people or something 😂 or u just fishing for likes

How tf would you know? You ever met him?
Stop over prasing. There are better actors
Willem Dafoe was in John Wick too. Many people just forget that the great actor was there too
I grew up watching Willem , it's always a joy watching a master acted.
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.
8:49 I haven’t seen Florida project. But based on that clip it makes the scene feel organic like it’s a natural place and not just a movie set
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
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.
0 for 3 there, bud.
@@JLeeeP ? Hm
Willem thanking the pigeon actor is the most wholesome thing ever
I had to find out if Willem has an Oscar and I was blown away at the fact that he actually doesn't have one! The mastery he demonstraded in this video was just out of this world, he knows what he is doing, he obviously cares for his craft and it completely shows !
Haha even Ke Huy Quan who disappeared for 30 years still got an Oscar more than Willem Dafoe and Harrison Ford combined hahahaha
No Jewish friends, no oscar
Character actors have a tough time getting oscar nominations. If it's any comfort, the Oscars are kind of complete horseshit anyway.
Dafoe is one of the best acting teachers alive as well. He knows it all. His advice about how he doesn’t think about his face when he is acting is amazing. You can look ridiculous trying to hard to convert your face to an emotion. Just express that emotion as genuinely as you can and the rest will follow.
Him fanboying over the lil pigeon actor was my favourite part what a joy HAHA
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.
Hollywood failed us for not casting Willem Dafoe as the Joker.
Quick! Cast him while he's still alive and healthy.
He is such a delightful storyteller - I demand more of this! 😊
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.
Every interview Willem does, feels like a masters class on acting. A true performer
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.
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 ★
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 should have gotten the Oscar for Platoon. ⭐️ Also love him in Streets of Fire & To Live & Die in LA. So cool 😎
He was nominated along with Tom Berenger which may have split the vote resulting in Michael Caine winning.
unexpectedly one of the most insightful actor interviews i've watched on youtube
The forever iconic of an actor really like imagine the cultural impact he has done not only in the cinema but even to memes as well!! 🤯
I could listen to Willem talk about the art and creative process of filmmaking and acting forever. He's so eloquent and passionate
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!
you all HAVE to see The Florida Project!
He is such a genuine performer and person. Gotta love Willem.
Willem Dafoe has basically been the same age since 1986. 😄
Spider-Man will always be the best.🙏🎃
He’s such a good and talented actor. No one can play green goblin like he can
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
My favorite actor. Th fact that he never won an Oscar (especially for the lighthouse) is a crime
He love that green goblin role so much
There are a handful of actors that NEVER give a bad performance. He's one of them.
As far as I can tell, he is fundamentally incapable of sucking at his job.
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
6:22 when I first saw that at the theater I felt like I was watching a horror movie that’s how good of an actor Willem is
It made me smile so hard because it was perfect! I love the dialogue too absolutely perfect cheese.
@@ThisUsernameSystemF-ckingSucks So true
Dafoe spent over 20 years helping run a small theatre company. Even when he didn’t need the money for years and was a busy actor he stick around to teach acting.
IM GOING TO GO WATCH INSIDE RIGHT NOW. Waiting to walk into the theaters at the moment. Cant wait! Love You Willem!!
It’s amazing how passionate he is. He has such an adoration for his craft.
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!
even the pigeon
Willem can be friendly and scary with the same intensity in his roles, great actor, one of my favorites btw
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.
“Normans on sabbatical, honeyyy” I LOVE THAT LINE SM
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!
He’s such a fine actor and seems so warm-hearted outside the acting
This needs to be 20 minutes longer
Would have loved to see his take down of Wild at Heart
'THE LAUGH' he nailed it!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂
He is a treasure. He never fails to make me smile in interviews
Stand out gentleman. Love this dude
Not just any actor could pull off what Dafoe did in Inside. That is a showcase performance piece for him. Not necessarily for every audience but it does all rest on him.
Such a great actor the lighthouse is 1 of my favourite movies
Willem is such a delightful person and an excellent actor!
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
Right in time for the 4k special edition Blu-ray of The Lighthouse to release.
This dudes mood is infectious, always puts a smile on my face
My favorite actor of all-time. The Lighthouse is a masterpiece.
At this point im surprised he doesn't have an Oscar, he's one of the best actor i ever seen in movies
Willem Dafoe. What an absolute sweetheart.
DeFoe acted at the Steppenwolf theatre in Chicago and made it big, while the great Director, Joel Gersmann was producing avant garde theatre in Madison, Wisconsin. Joel didn’t sell out to the money in New York. I was there when he got an opportunity. Money turned art in America into entertainment.
Spider-Man is so raw. He’s basically one of the first on-screen anime villains in western film, so good.
What on earth are you talking about?
Willem Dafoe screaming at a pigeon goes so hard
Wish we can fast forward to when he finally plays the Joker. This dude is great with everyone he plays.
So glad they included boondock saints, one of his best roles
That movie is so dumb and bro-y, and yet so much fun to watch.
It's a complete travesty that he has not won a single Oscar, BAFTA, Globe or SAG award... in almost every role he's ever done, he pulls it off brilliantly. Love Willem Dafoe! He is amazing!
Got slip a Jew some greens or no oscar
Willem Dafoe and Daniel Day Lewis. Literally would be the best movie ever.
I love wilem dafoe so much he’s such a happy and humble person.
I heard that he's going to be in Beetlejuice 2. I'm surprised that it took this long for a collaboration between Tim Burton and him to happen.
Willem is such a national treasure.
Willem is one rare actors that has been in more successful movies now rather than he was younger.
I love Willem so much. Such a unique individual. I'd watch him watching paint dry & be entertained
Summary of movie "Inside (2023)" starring "William Dafoe"
Can we summarize the movie based on climax in one liner.
That is->
Summary "Think outside the box"
Having watched The Lighthouse, I honestly don't know if it was a good movie. But Willem and Robert are AMAZING actors, that's for sure.
what a treasure this guy
He got robbed for Platoon, He was the most talented supporting actor that year in my current opinion and I've seen Michael Caine's performance.
His the best Green Goblin and the best Spider-Man villain
Best. Character actor. Ever.
Lighthouse was just an amazing piece of art
You can tell he loves his job
And the Oscar goes to: The actor Pidgeon!
this should be a continuous series - just Willem talking about scenes - would watch that endlessly
I’ve never seen him with a mustache before 😂!
Willem Dafoe is awesome, but Willem Dafriend is even better.
Give actor pigeon an oscar! 🐦 🥇
I didn't think Antichrist would be in here, but honestly his performance in that movie is worth mentioning. Very dark movie though. Also, At Eternity's Gate, and the first Spider-Man.
I would’ve loved to see him talk about Shadow of the Vampire and maybe American Psycho.
