Willem Dafoe Pronounced His Name Wrong | CONAN on TBS

[leoalec]

Since he is not evil, he is actually Willem Dafriend

[aaronadrian]

The fact that Dafoe has not portrayed the Joker is a crime.

[dormiebasne]

Willem's smile is so genuine, but there is a layer of disarming mischief that still makes you question it. Perfectly cast for the Green Goblin.

[ciptaantuhan]

Willem Dafoe: "Ahahahaha-..."

Also Willem Dafoe's mind: " *Oh, you can't do this to me.* "

[caseykellogg]

Willem Defoe has looked like he's about 55 years old for 40 years

[roldancollado]

He looks like something of a scientist himself

[nicholasmapes]

He seems like such a cool and genuine guy. Great actor

[milad_mofrad]

Conan: "my job is to expose and humiliate"
Williem Dafoe: "oh you can't do this to me! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRFICED?!"

[Auzzie]

I think Dafoe will go down as one of the most under appreciated actors. The man kills it in every role he does, deserves more recognition for his work.

[nickes]

For such a perfect villain, hes such a gentle and polite guy.

[yaro]

Willem can be terryfing and wholesome at the same time

[Luka_]

This man kills it in every role that he played. I hope that him returning as the goblin helps him by finally getting recognized again for his masterful work

[bodenlosedosenhose]

To everyone mentioning that he also said "William": Willem's actual name is William James Dafoe. Willem is his nickname (and just the Dutch version of William), acquired in high school.

[anwayjadhav]

I wasn't expecting him to be so polite and sweet... He is indeed willen dafriend

[mattharden]

I could honestly listen to this man for hours, put his voice as a version for Siri, audiobooks. I hear this man as the voice of my conscience.

[spoonyshirou]

Such a polite and humble guy. Hollywood needs more such people.

[heidelfortuny]

His other family members be like: *"I'm something of a Day-foe myself."*

[gnamp]

Not just his surname- he called himself 'William'.

[magnaviousyk]

He's one of my most favorite actor because he really kills it whenever he performs

[bobbyricigliano]

100% commitment in everything he does. One of the best actors of the last several decades.
