His passion for cinema / acting is beautiful. He seems like a nice person, but...what on earth do we know? He's human. If he were a bit prickly here or said things you don't agree with ( Politics / Religion ), would you conclude he's not a nice person? ( Sorry. Tired of Cult of Personality stuff. Respecting his artistry and loving DeFoe as a fellow human being is cool. Any whiff of elevating him as a god is not cool. Maybe you weren't doing so. )

had a strange dream about a month ago, filled with clips and bit from various video games. The end of the dream was where I was brought to the office of bad guy (Dafoe), a business mogul, but the me in the dream was very scared. He sat behind a desk with an inhaler in front of him. He was telling me that he asked me to come in so that he could discuss my behaviour. Someone out of sight on my right whispered "Does he need the inhaler to be fast?" I whispered back "No, but he does it anyway". Dafoe's stops talking and freezes for a second, then he slowly picks up the inhaler and uses it. He blinks and then the revolver is pressed against my forehead without him apparently moving. "The trial period is over." There is the sound of a shot and I wake up sweating and shaking. Dafoe up close as a gangster type villain can be frightening.

One of the greatest. If he's in your movie, the film instantly gets better. Also, what a wholesome guy he is. It's a joy to just watch him talk and how much he loves his craft.

In my opinion I think Willem Dafoe is up there with the best of them. You can tell he has true and real passion for what he does just hearing him talk. Just a solid dude who deserves all the praise in the world.

I got to admit I love Willem's raw honesty and how he describes the roles. It's really refreshing to hear and understand an actor's perspective on their roles.

One of my favorites roles of his is of the manager from The Florida Project. He was so real and relatable in that situation, very impressive performance.

Willem Dafoe really is one of the best actors in the world. And his memory! He's been in so many movies and only missed two! I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday and this guy remembers small lines from 30-40 years ago! Holy $hit! I really have to have a Dafoe marathon now!

Outside of being a most wonderful actor, I think the thing that I appreciate about him the most is seeing his absolute joy in performing. Regardless of the role it's a contagious enthusiasm for loving truly loving what he does.

What a gorgeous intoxicating person. His range of work over decades has always been fantastic and compelling. I love actors who seek purpose and curiosity in a vast spectrum of storytelling.

A line from his work with David Lynch would have been nice. As his part in Wild at heart was just mesmerizing.

One of the few actors' voices that are just so warming... that I could just listen to and enjoy. He is for me on the same level as Attenborough, Morgan Freeman, and James Earl Jones.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard Willem Dafoe speak outside of a movie before. He seems like a great guy. Someone interesting to talk to

He's the very definition of an actor, not (just) an entertainer. What a genuine and humble man. He's passionate about his artistry, about the material he's working with and it shines through via his whole personality. He deserves the highest respect and admiration.
