      yes, but I think, he has a good chance of being nominated again[for the Oscar] and winning this time. for the role, and, because "he's due". it works out that way, often, like it or not.

      @@InfiniteElectrophone I worked at the front desk at a decent, corporate hotel in San Francisco around '99 and actually checked Dafoe into the hotel (I was already a big fan, but maintained my composure though I was admittedly very impressed by him) ...
      He arrived with hair and departed a week later bald (Shadow of the Vampire, no doubt). My experience with Dafoe and all reports from coworkers were very positive. He seems like he appears in this interview: thoughtful, considerate, and solid. And for me, I think he's an actor whose work never disappoints, and The Florida Project is one of my most recent, favorite films.

    I was lucky enough to see Willem Dafoe in an off Broadway play in 2009. He had riveting stage presence, moved beautifully and has the most stunning, huge, bright blue eyes that are like laser beams. He's a very attractive man and always seems to be grounded, humble and a class act.
