    I think Willem Dafoe, more than any other actor I've seen interviews of, is really geniune and gives you an open door to a glimpse of what his thought process is and what he's trying to accomplish as an actor. Very few artists show the kind of openness and vulnerability that he does.

      @Leo Peridot I've watched many actors interviews; many of them, in fact, done by James Lipton on INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO. Willem just strikes me as very candid and open with his processes. Real. Not saying other actors are faking it or keep alot more filters up. It's just a vibe I get that seems different. Maybe Pedro Pascal is good at getting actors to relax and be more open, because I've seen him interview Ewan McGregor and that was a good interview as well.

      True. Though I think it's somewhat common, that people who are not typically handsome or beautiful, tend to age better than the ones who are generally.. especially if your face is lined from a young age, you will pretty much remain the same throughout your life.

    His voice is so unique and he is able to imbue so much emotion in his speech. It's equal parts bass and whine. He can sharpen it with a hiss or mellow it with a soft murmur. Listening to him is as entertaining as looking at him. It must be his life on the theater that has granted him so fine a control over his tone. Willem, is up there with some other greats like Hopkins in his ability to use more than just his physicality to bring a character to life.

    Sometimes you encounter people that closely resemble other people you know, & seldomly you meet exact dopplegangers, but rarely do people have a truly distinctive face, apart from all others. My father was both. He passed away a few years ago & at his funeral we had dozens of photos of him displayed with a couple photos of Willem Dafoe mixed in for yuks. Many of his closest friends & family didn't even noticed until they were let in on the joke.

    If you didn't know, the main reason why Williem has such an unusually high level of insightfulness, attention to detail and pretty much always appears to be in a relaxed and well composed way, is because he is a long time meditator.

      He was really in the intellectual pressure cooker of Downtown NYC at that time... right at the moment that "deconstruction" and "postmodernism" were huge. His description of a theater that was focused on actions and objects more than language comes directly out of that huge cultural shift. This is a brilliant guy who paid attention to everything around him.

I just don't get to NYC as much as I'd like! Best Fringe theatre in the US, imho. But, I'd forgotten that Dafoe was at the helm at Wooster, in the beginning. I'm glad to be reminded.
