When he said he didn’t want to play goblin in the new movies without him doing his own stunts it made sense. He didn’t want to fill a job he wanted to be the character
"I'm a color on the canvas, and I love that" probably the most modest, down-to-earth way I've ever heard an actor describe themself. And he sounds completely sincere about it. What a cool dude.
I used to be scared up until Boondock Saints, him in drag fixed that and it also solidified him as one of my favorite actors because of his role as Special Agent Smecker.
I was walking through Manhattan on a very cold winter day years ago. Willem DaFoe and I were both wrapped up in parkas. We exchanged smiles as we walked right by each other. That doesn't often happen in New York. It didn't dawn on me who he was until several blocks away. He struck me as just an every day "nice guy". I still get a chuckle when I think about it.
I think that's why he did Spider-Man, it was a big-budget movie directed by a cinephile's director who was best known for camp horror based on a long-running comic book. He took a long whiff of the cheese and decided it smelled good.
I'm glad he didn't look down on comic book movies just because everyone thought they were "for kids" The green goblin is one of his most iconic and best roles
@@Masonia_ i think being in a comic book movie is great for the money you get, but people only remember you for that roll, RDJ will never show up in another movie again where people arent thinking "omg iron man" every time he shoes his face
I really love how William is all about supporting directors and artists willing to do something new or original and he's all about helping OTHER people, make their dreams come true.
I've never really seen Willem DaFoe speak out of character before. He has a real warmth and intelligence that he brings to his roles. Such a watchable guy.
he once narrated a documentary i watched in school. i have literally zero memory of what the subject was, i was thinking of the green goblin the whole video LMAO
"They're behind the camera, and they need someone to be their creature. I'm a color in the canvas and I love that." I love that description of the relationship between actor and director.
Willem was my across the street neighbor when we were growing up. He was always nice and funny guy. So happy he is such a success and I hope he gets an Oscar someday.
This is the most interesting comment, for you never know the person, just the actor, but through this interview he comes across just as you knew him. I am happy to hear he is not playing a role here, but rather he learned early happiness is a choice, probably the best take away of all.
bro that’s insane that i came across this comment. i can’t even fathom what it’s like that u knew him before the whole world did. dudes is an incredible actor
"I'm not interested in making a job. I'm interested in helping an artist do what they need to do behind the camera. They need someone to be their creature".
I respect how unpretentious he is. So many actors would be embarrassed to talk about having roles in comic book movies, but not him. He wears that proudly.
you can tell he genuinely loves every role he does and is acting because he enjoys it. he puts his whole heart into every role no matter how "small" or "bad" the movie is.
Willem's performance in The Lighthouse was one of the best single performances I've ever seen on screen by any actor ever. He should have cleaned house at the award shows that year.
Hollywood rarely awards or encourages genuinely gifted artists. Honestly I didn't "get" that movie, but I think that's just because I'm dumb, lol. But even my stupid self recognized how incredible both their performances were in that movie.
@@lizc6393 no shame in not getting a movie or thinking u didnt get it. I catch myself very often like that, but I think movies sometimes can be admired for the feelings and atmospheres they create and not be interpreted
How cool! You can tell he loves to talk about his movies. When he did Inside the Actors Studio a student asked about learning to print money for To Live & Die in LA. His face lit up!
Willem is one of only a handful of actors which 99% of us would pay to see him be himself for 100 minutes. His appearance is exotic and strange but yet perfectly normal and comforting, he oozes the kind of cool that men and women alike just wish there were more of in the world. And, let's not forget, he has the chiseled looks that instantly suggest sincerity which he can back up 100%. He's definitely in my top 5 actors of all time.
This is easily one of the best of these recaps I've ever seen, mostly because Willem is eager to explain certain stuff... it's like he's answering questions nobody's asked him before. Great video
He seems like such a down to earth guy. One of my favorite actors, not only because of his incredible acting, but also simply because of his very humble demeanor. He really loves what he does, and it shows very deeply in his character.
He’s seems so humble and intelligent. Like he actually breaks down and understands his movies, instead of some actors who kind of seem like they don’t care lol.
And how he speaks about his roles. "I was just a color on the canvas, and I loved it." He really appreciates the process and sees himself as part of that process. He's awesome.
He seems to be a real actor, in the sense that he knows the Director has a vision and he is a tool for that. He doesn't want his own vision to interfere with the project.
I love how he interprets, in his own way, acting as being a color on the director's canvas so that he can allow that canvas to be fulfilled the way they want it to be. That's a really interesting view that I hadn't really thought much about
I was looking for more comments about this. He gets absorbed into every part, whether they were considered bad by the public or not. He's such a well-rounded guy.
You forget that oscars are a competition. All the people who say they cant believe they didnt get an oscar dont even know the other movies that were motivated... Watch more films
Lassi Kinnunen the oscars are an opinion. but cant deny the all nominees and winners are great actor by ability to act and definitely not just popularity
My favorite film with Willem Dafoe was “The English Patient”, a story that I read, listened to in audiobook and also watched as a film. He played the part of a thief in a war. What a rich and beautiful film that one was.
"I'm a color in the canvas." Not claiming to be a theme or the subject but just a color.... what a humble guy! His voice is very calming and nice to listen to. His performance in Spiderman 2 was enthralling as a child. As an adult now I appreciate this guy so much!
I find it so fascinating to see Dafoe on screen. Intense, focused and profesional. But of screen he's just a man who gets to what he loves for a living. Full of warmth, intelligence and generosity to share his experiences.
I'm surprised he didn't mention his role in "To Live and Die in L.A." as counterfeiter Rick Masters. The movie was made in 1985 before Platoon and it is a masterful performance.
The way he talks about the role of “green goblin” almost made me cry of excitement, he’s such a fantastic actor and it makes me appreciate the movie 100% more.
@@VanillaBearMD3it would depend on weather Sony screws him over forcing him to make a terrible one like spider man 3, but if not i'm sure it would of been great.
Jordan Stortz how when Spiderman 3 was so overcrowded. I love the trilogy and it has a special place in my heart but they were planning to add even more villains going onto the 4th movie, and it would’ve been too much
I will never forget watching The Last Temptation when I was 12 years old with my mom. I got so scared but amazed at his acting, I had nightmares that night. But I knew he was bound to be one of my favorite actors and people ever. God bless Willem, what a unique person.
I clicked this video for that specifically. That was such an ambiguous role and there’s so much speculation surrounding that character. I wish we could have seen him elaborate a little bit on what he felt the detective knew, or if he was even a real detective.
@@modest1989 Or he's acting like he's an arrogant guy who's acting like a chill guy who's acting like an arrogant guy who's acting like a chill guy.... Actception.
Willem Dafoe is a freaking chameleon! Everything he touched he performed brilliantly. Unlike so many actors that squeeze a part of themselves into it, he seems to be aside himself, and becomes the essence of the character, and is detached as himself! If he didn't look like W. D. you would never know it's him! I can see that being way more fun than trying to be something else, yet still trying to make sure you are recognized! I think he made a wise decision not to be the center of attention, and by doing so gives everything he touches so much more reality, and so ends up to be the center of attention anyhow, for not standing out in any deliberate way. He has also given many newcomers in movie making a chance and helped them excel, by seeing the vision in story and what ever else over mere authority. Christopher Walkin is also well known for that, and would be in your bands video for no cost if it sounds interesting and different enough!
I love how he's an artist who seems to not be very pretentious. He will do very artsy stuff, to dramatic stuff, and also do the very fun silly stuff. He truly just loves to act.
I love how he says his story about the philippines Most people will say "its terrifying" But he said it was powerful That means a lot to me as a filipino
I loved "The Last Temptation Of Christ". I was lucky enough to see it theatrically in 1988 (with protestors a plenty outside the theater). I talked with them and they said it was a heretic because I admitted to being a Christian (I still am, by the way). I saw the film for what it was. At the beginning the crawl says that it Isn't based on The Gospels and it was a fictitious view of Jesus' human side while every other movie concentrated on his divinity. This film showed both the human and the divine.
Yes. Very true. Martin Scorsese, who is Catholic, also stated very clearly it was based on Nikos Kazantzakis book, and religion was important in his life in many ways, regardless of any film or story. Jesus is about love. I think anyone who actually reads the Gospels with an open heart and mind will easily grasp this. No movie, book, fact, fiction, or otherwise will ever change this.
Willem Dafoe's characters have all been so vastly different that I didn't know what to expect of him as a person. He's so charming and humble in this interview that it's thrown me through a loop lol
You’ve spun your last film. Had you not been so selfish, your little movies delay would’ve been quick and monthly but now that you’ve really pissed me of, I’m gonna delay it, year, after year.
He has such a warm and calm demeanor which is a startling contrast to his role that stood out to me the most, Norman Osborn in the Marvel movies. And oh my gosh he was in some way part of one of the most significant events in Philippine history, the People Power Revolution of 1986. Long story short it restored democracy to the country after a two decade dictatorship.

If he scared you when you're a kid, it just shows that he's really good at being Green Goblin. I love his acting because he really is scary
Willem dafriend
For someone who is arguably better than anyone else at playing a villain, he seems like the nicest guy ever
I've heard that's almost always the case. Alan Rickman was another good example.
Most nice people have a dark side. The glee you feel by giving in (even for pretend) is unmatched, and really sells their performances.

I dunno, Benedict Cumberbatch is a pretty good villain.

@@gimmeyourrights8292 correct word is "Shpat" as he pronounces it lol
@Kimmy Boy What?
I find it so fascinating to see Dafoe on screen. Intense, focused and profesional. But of screen he's just a man who gets to what he loves for a living. Full of warmth, intelligence and generosity to share his experiences.
You know your good when you played Green Goblin and Jesus Christ.
whats the difference
@@oiyoushutit8670 really wtndo u mean
they are both the same
Do you know how much he sacrificed?!?
@@oiyoushutit8670 is green goblin Jesus or is Jesus green goblin lol.
Watching him laugh and just enjoying himself telling us his career timeline made me so happy.
You know, I’m something of a motivator myself
"You can't wait for inspiration. You gotta do something, and it's through action that something happens." Words to live by.
Sometimes, you gotta do things yourself
Aaron Burr would disagree ;)
@@unlimitedfunlol hehe
I'm surprised he didn't mention his role in "To Live and Die in L.A." as counterfeiter Rick Masters. The movie was made in 1985 before Platoon and it is a masterful performance.
“I’m a color in the canvas”
a visionary director's wet dream right there. this is how we got The Lighthouse, thank God.
Very poetic and poignant. He was a very vibrant one in Streets of Fire and still standing out amongst the monochrome.
glad we all picked up on how amazing that was :)

The way he talks about the role of “green goblin” almost made me cry of excitement, he’s such a fantastic actor and it makes me appreciate the movie 100% more.
Super Skrull such amazing acting in that role. You can truly see the transformation into eccentric killer. Incredible
Raimi's Spier-man 4 would've been the best movie of all time, change my mind.
@@VanillaBearMD3it would depend on weather Sony screws him over forcing him to make a terrible one like spider man 3, but if not i'm sure it would of been great.
Jordan Stortz how when Spiderman 3 was so overcrowded. I love the trilogy and it has a special place in my heart but they were planning to add even more villains going onto the 4th movie, and it would’ve been too much
what about Aquaman? Was this an old vid? it was uploaded this year.
After seeing the Lighthouse, this man is straight up in the top 10 actors alive today.
Yer fond of his acting, ain't ye? Me too

@@josearteaga9667 its free on prime video now. Thats how i got to watch it. Loved it
I will never forget watching The Last Temptation when I was 12 years old with my mom. I got so scared but amazed at his acting, I had nightmares that night. But I knew he was bound to be one of my favorite actors and people ever. God bless Willem, what a unique person.
It’s a shame no one really talks about his role as the detective in American Psycho. No one else could’ve nailed that role the way he did.
he excels, very true.
Yeah, not much screen time on that one, but he totally nails it.
He reveals so much about himself in casual conversation...
I'm also surprised it wasn't mentioned here
I clicked this video for that specifically. That was such an ambiguous role and there’s so much speculation surrounding that character. I wish we could have seen him elaborate a little bit on what he felt the detective knew, or if he was even a real detective.
His voice feels like he's telling a story to Peter.
What does that even mean?
He was the green goblin
@Deadpool yeah sure he is captain obvious.
@Xande you'll figure it out soon 😉
@@meggzilla295 I was telling to other person captain numbskull
He is so soft and well spoken! It's a pleasure to hear him talk, didn't imagine his voice is so soothing.
DId you think he always talked like the Green Goblin? Telling his wife "finish it...FINISH IT"
@@incomestheevening7137 LOL :D
I’ve always liked his acting. All his characters are usually very compelling to one degree or another.
You can tell he really loves acting; he's so enthusiastic about the craft and the people he's worked with
I could listen to his voice for hours it’s like a white Morgan freeman.
Willem Defoe ASMR
William best green goblin ever.
Yes
wtf?
It's because of overtones. His voice is both high and low pitch.
Glad to see he's not full of himself, just a talented dude who loves his job. Right on.
Everb thought he's just that good of an actor he's got you completely fooled here
LOL

This. This is why he is so great.
He's so sweet for someone who so successfully plays deranged psychopaths
William dafoe is one of those legendary actors that doesn’t get enough credit for his legacy. So many memorable roles and killed every single one
Right, I was just about to say that. I also feel like he could’ve played a great joker.

@@kevinp1608 I stand corrected I had no idea. Thank you
You know willem dafoe is something of a actor himself
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE'S SACRIFICED?!?!?!?!
lmao
In this business you're either in or out.
Everything he said about The Boondock Saints warms my heart.
"They're behind the camera, they need someone to be their creature and I'm a Colour on the canvas." Poetic Willem 😯
His performance in Beyond Two Souls was so good too
He’s amazing and everything. Honestly was expecting him to be in Detroit become human. His face and overall vibe what I’ve worked great with the story
A man once said, "He isn't Willem Dafoe, he's Willem DaFRIEND".

We need a movie starring him and Steve Buscemi side by side.
I want to see him and Mads Mikkelsen
Well, that's impossible since they are the same person.
@@I_am16 watch Eternity's Gate.
I am what about himself and also himself
Willem Dafoe and Steve Buscemi in... The Love Bus.
Willem Dafoe is a freaking chameleon! Everything he touched he performed brilliantly. Unlike so many actors that squeeze a part of themselves into it, he seems to be aside himself, and becomes the essence of the character, and is detached as himself! If he didn't look like W. D. you would never know it's him! I can see that being way more fun than trying to be something else, yet still trying to make sure you are recognized! I think he made a wise decision not to be the center of attention, and by doing so gives everything he touches so much more reality, and so ends up to be the center of attention anyhow, for not standing out in any deliberate way. He has also given many newcomers in movie making a chance and helped them excel, by seeing the vision in story and what ever else over mere authority. Christopher Walkin is also well known for that, and would be in your bands video for no cost if it sounds interesting and different enough!
One of THE most underrated actors out there. When I hear he’s attached to a film or project I always have to check it out. Love his style and range
I strictly remember this guy in Mr. Bean’s Holiday
I've added several movies to my watchlist as a result of this video.
@@Dargonhuman same lol
I love how he's an artist who seems to not be very pretentious. He will do very artsy stuff, to dramatic stuff, and also do the very fun silly stuff. He truly just loves to act.

@Masketta Man They're more like the Mexicans of Asia.
I loved "The Last Temptation Of Christ". I was lucky enough to see it theatrically in 1988 (with protestors a plenty outside the theater). I talked with them and they said it was a heretic because I admitted to being a Christian (I still am, by the way). I saw the film for what it was.
At the beginning the crawl says that it Isn't based on The Gospels and it was a fictitious view of Jesus' human side while every other movie concentrated on his divinity. This film showed both the human and the divine.
Yes. Very true. Martin Scorsese, who is Catholic, also stated very clearly it was based on Nikos Kazantzakis book, and religion was important in his life in many ways, regardless of any film or story.
Jesus is about love. I think anyone who actually reads the Gospels with an open heart and mind will easily grasp this. No movie, book, fact, fiction, or otherwise will ever change this.
My all-time favorite line Willem Dafoe ever spoke:
“Oh”
It hit so different

hoped someone would pick that sentence up.. so great
My favorite part of the whole video
His acting in boondock saints is masterclass. Nuff said
Willem Dafoe's characters have all been so vastly different that I didn't know what to expect of him as a person. He's so charming and humble in this interview that it's thrown me through a loop lol
He's such a nice man. Look at his eyes, they are constantly smiling. Even when he's being angry.
You know, I'm something of a Willem Dafoe fan myself.

He has such a warm and calm demeanor which is a startling contrast to his role that stood out to me the most, Norman Osborn in the Marvel movies. And oh my gosh he was in some way part of one of the most significant events in Philippine history, the People Power Revolution of 1986. Long story short it restored democracy to the country after a two decade dictatorship.
