Willem Dafoe
William “Willem” Dafoe (born July 22, 1955) is an American film and stage actor, and a founding member of the experimental theatre company The Wooster Group. He is best known for his roles in To Live and Die in L.A.(1985), Platoon (1986) , The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) , Shadow of the Vampire (2000), Mississippi Burning (1988), The Boondock Saints (1999), American Psycho (2000) and the Spider-Man(2002-2007) films.
Dafoe as Max Schrek in "Shadow of the Vampire"
- Dafoe as the Green Goblin in Spiderman Films
Trivia:
His high school nickname, Willem, stuck with him.
He did practically all of his own stunts on the glider in Spider-Man (2002). So when you see the Green Goblin moving around on it, when it’s not CG, then it’s Willem pretty much the whole time.
The only actor to ever be nominated for an Oscar for playing a vampire, for his role as Max Schrek in Shadow of the Vampire (2000).
John Malkovich, Nicolas Cage, and Dafoe were all approached to play the Green Goblin in Spider-Man (2002). Dafoe and Malkovich starred in Shadow of the Vampire (2000) together, while Cage produced the film. Dafoe ended up getting the Spider-Man role.
Was a candidate for the role of the Joker in Batman (1989).
