He got robbed of an Oscar nomination for The Lighthouse. Hands down.

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

It’s insane how well Dafoe slipped back into Green Goblin after 20 years, like he did Spider-Man 1 the day before.

[TihetrisWeathersby]

The Lighthouse was such a good movie, Willem and Robert were fantastic

[aldimaven]

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.

[drummats]

His acting in "The Lighthouse" is arguably one of the most underrated yet amazing achievements in recent cinematic history

[TihetrisWeathersby]

I could watch Willem watch movies all day, He's a class act

[parsaalishiri]

"The laughs just come" amazing and terrifying

[raphaelfp]

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.

[araisikewai]

The way he just lights up when he talked about Green Goblin.

[rinraiden]

You really can't get much cooler than Willem Dafoe.

[joaquinwaters]

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.

[mindbomb]

Willem Dafoe is highly rated as an actor. Yet, he's still underrated.

[pocketsizeforyourtravelcon]

The Florida Project was a devastatingly beautiful film, everyone did such a great job. Definitely worth a watch.

[RiddleMemoire]

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

[LoveHandle]

The Lighthouse was such a crazy yet amazing masterpiece of a film.

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

I could watch 30 hours of Dafoe in a chair talking about movies he’s done.

[LoveHandle]

One of the not just greatest actors but greatest human beings that’s ever graced this Earth.🙏

[darrad]

I grew up watching Willem, it's always a joy watching a master acted.

[cungcung]

Willem Dafoe was in John Wick too. Many people just forget that the great actor was there too

[madisonbender]

Willem thanking the pigeon actor is the most wholesome thing ever
