William J. Dafoe Wiki Biography

William J. Dafoe was born on the 22nd July 1955, in Appleton, Wisconsin, USA, to a father of French and English descent, and mother of Irish, Scottish and German descent. He is an actor, known for his roles in over 100 films, particularly “Platoon”, “The Last Temptation Of Christ”, “Shadow Of The Vampire”, and “Spider-Man”. He is also recognized as a voice actor, known for providing the voice in “Finding Nemo” and “The Simpsons”.

Have you ever wondered how rich is Willem Dafoe, as of early 2016? According to sources, it is estimated that the overall amount of Willem’s net worth is over $25 million, mainly accumulated from his career in the theatre and movie industries now spanning over 40 years.

Willem Dafoe was one of seven children, the son of Dr. William Alfred Dafoe, a surgeon, and Muriel Isabel, a nurse. He attended Einstein Junior High School, and then Appleton East High School, from which he was expelled for shooting a pornographic film. Thus, his career began, but he also continued his education, studying Drama at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, but only for a year, in order to join the theatre company Theatre X, and begin his professional acting career. Soon after, he moved to New York and became a part of the theatre troupe The Performance Group. However, Willem soon got involved with Elizabeth LeCompte in a romantic relationship, although she was 11 year older than him. She left the Performance Group, and started her own theatre group, entitled “Wooser Group”, which Willem joined within a year of its creation.

His acting career began back in 1980, when he was selected for a small role in the film “Heaven’s Gate”, but he was edited out. Anyway, he stayed in the acting world, soon acquiring a role in the film “The Loveless” (1981). Since then, his career has only gone upwards, and he has appeared in over 100 film titles, which became the main source of his net worth over the years. During the 1980s, he appeared in films such as “Streets Of Fire” (1984), “Roadhouse 66” (1985), “Platoon” (1986), “Off Limits” (1988), and “Mississippi Burning” (1988), among others. The role of Sergeant Elias in “Platoon” led Willem to a nomination for an Oscar award and added a lot to his overall wealth.

The 1990s only increased the number of films in which Willem appeared, and also increased his overall net worth. He was featured in over 15 films, some of those are “Cry Baby” (1990), “Wild At Heart” (1990), and “Light Sleeper” (1992) – for which he won Sant Jordi Award for Best Foreign Actor – “Clear And Present Danger” (1994), “The English Patient” (1996), “Speed 2: Cruise Control” (1997), and “The Boondock Saints” (1999), among others.

In the 1990s, Willem also began ‘voice acting’, making his debut in the popular TV series “The Simpsons” in 1997, and was soon featured in animated films such as “Globehunters” (2000) and “Finding Nemo” (2003).

In the 2000s, his career became even bigger, as he was in constant demand by directors. Willem was cast in “Shadow of the Vampire” (2000), a horror film directed by E. Elias Merhige, portraying Max Schreck, and being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, plus winning several awards, such as Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male, and Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor. Among Other films in which he was cast are “Spider-man” (2002) followed by “Spider-man 2” (2004) and “Spider-man 3” (2007); “The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou” (2004), “Before It Had A Name” (2005), “Inside Man” (2006), “Mr. Bean’s Holiday” (2007), , “Go Go Tales” (2007), “Antichrist” (2009), “The Hunter” (2011), “Out OF The Furnace” (2013) his net worth rose steadily.

Most recently, Willem’s net worth has been increased by appearances in films “Bad Country” (2014), “John Wick” (2014), “The Fault In Our Stars” (2014), “The Grand Budapest Hotel” (2014), “My Hindu Friend” (2015). At the moment, he is filming “The Great Wall”, “The Headhunter’s Calling”, “What Happened To Monday”, and “Dog Eat Dog”, all of which are scheduled to be released by the end of 2016, demonstrating that he is still in high demand, and undoubtedly raising his net worth.

Regarding his personal life, Willem Dafoe has been married to Giada Colagrande, a director and actress, since 2005. With his previous partner, Elizabeth LeCompte (1977-2004), Williem has a son. At the present day, he lives with Giada and they divide their time between New York, Los Angeles, and Italy. Willem spends his free time practicing Yoga.

William J. Dafoe Quotes

  • There’s a funny perception that I play bad guys, but if you really know my movies, the big and small ones, the truth is often I play good guys. But they’re good guys that are flawed, good guys who are outside of society. They’re odd or they’re criminals, but morally they tend to function as good people.
  • I’m always very fond of laconic, cut-off characters that have a rich inner life, and you have to restrain that.
  • [2004, on selection parts] I’m always looking for an adventure-I try not to work just to work. I always try to find people that are burning to tell a story and then help them do it. I try to avoid anyone that pokes around-filmmaking should be an opportunity to make something that’s very thrilling and, you know, exciting. On some level, I’m a sensation junkie.
  • On The Last Temptation of Christ (1988): It had a profound influence on me. Marty [Scorsese] had made this movie in his head for years, and I felt privileged to be involved.
  • I always like to mix it up. It’s like anything. If you’re eating pasta for a week, eventually, you crave something else. A balanced diet of different roles and different stories and movies – I think it’s the way to stay healthy artistically and career wise. It does a funny thing because you’re not refining one way of seeing you. That’s one way to have a career. You can make a persona, corner a market, and make yourself almost a thing. You can use that and that can be interesting iconographical but I still am that actor who likes to bend myself to the material rather than find material to support some idea of who I am or some persona that I’ve made, or some mask that I’ve made. – On his career.
  • Most of the work happens when you’re on the set. It’s like going to a cocktail party – you know who’s going to be there, you have certain expectations about the topics of conversation and the social dynamic. At the same time, when you arrive, you’ve got to be able to abandon those preconceptions and be mercurial. But sometimes the most important thing is just having a good costume. – On preparation for the characters he plays.
  • On principle I don’t have favorites. To pass judgment on something you’ve done is a face-saving act, and I think it kinda stinks. There are all kinds of movies, all kinds of impulses and all kinds of needs for people watching movies, and sometimes I’ll do a movie that I don’t particularly care for, but then I’ll run into someone that it speaks to and they love it. So for me, to give my personal take on it, could mean ruining that movie for someone else, because they can find pleasure where I can’t. – On his favorite roles.
  • Sometimes I envy their power and money, and other times I feel sorry for them since they have a gun to their head. They have so much to protect that they have to be very careful, thus very certain every step of the way, and that leaves out a lot of work of any freshness. I don’t want to do that – I’m not that kind of actor. – On top Hollywood actors.
  • It’s one of those invented things. I spend a lot of time in Germany so it’s in my head. I didn’t feel the need to go to a dialogue coach and be very strict with it because that’s not in the spirit of how it should be approached. My take was that it should be played with and invented. It’s my idea of a Germanish accent – On his accent in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004).
  • Sometimes I have a desire to control what I do a little bit, especially when I do a smaller movie. But basically, my impulses are the impulses of a child. I like being the thing itself. I don’t like thinking about it. And that doesn’t mean I’m not analytical or that I’m anti-intellectual. I’m not trying to say I’m a totally intuitive kind of guy. It’s just that my real pleasure, where I feel vital and everything drops away, is when I’m in the middle of doing it, and I look for that opportunity untainted by other responsibilities. But I’m getting too serious. When I try to explain what I do, I get a little bit disgusted with myself because I come off too earnest. In the simplest terms, it’s a pleasure to borrow someone else’s body and someone else’s life. That’s the craft, and it’s a bit like voodoo, because you don’t know exactly how you do it. – On his acting style.
  • All the time, as an actor, you want to be asking what’s next and where things are going. If you’re not asking those questions you’re not growing.
  • When you look back at your experiences, it’s true that sometimes the most horrendous experiences can translate into being your best work.
  • Any actor who tells you that he makes choices, absolutely, is wrong. You find work and work finds you.
  • I’m an optimist. I hope if a movie’s good that it will be a success, but as we know, that’s not always true, just because of popular taste, advertising, distribution patterns, there’s lots of reasons. When something doesn’t do better than it deserves to in your mind, it’s pretty transparent, you usually know why. Is that a comfort? Yes, because it’s logical. Does it make you happy? No, because if you think a movie is beautiful or interesting, you want to share it. It’s really true; there’s no accounting for taste. Sometimes you make very interesting movies that aren’t meant for everybody. But this is a capitalist society, so everything conspires to put value on whether it sells or not. While we have a very strong popular culture, the roots of our culture are very shallow, and we put emphasis on how a movie does as far as the box office goes. Many years ago, it would have been vulgar to print box-office grosses in the paper. Now The New York Times does it, and it’s the big story for people interested in arts and entertainment on Monday. Which is why emphasis has shifted away from filmmakers and fallen on movie stars and business people.
  • I never act. I simply bring out the real animal that’s in me.
  • [on why he became an actor]: “You know, it shifts. When it starts out in the beginning, I think it’s purely a social thing. The thing you get reinforcement for, it’s a way of acting out. It’s a way of getting attention. It’s a way of just fitting in socially. And then, as I get older, it transforms into something else.”
  • [on whether good actors help other actors]: “You’re always looking for good people to work with, because you feed each other. That’s all.”
  • …it’s very clear that a lot of people that have really strong instincts as actors are very often inarticulate…Sometimes, you know, classically, if someone’s very intellectual, they aren’t as connected to the doing of things. And the doing is really the key to finding the emotionality and the spirit of things.
  • I’m one of those people who when I go over a bridge, I want to jump. It’s just this intense tickle in the back of my throat. It’s like I’m on the verge the whole time I’m walking over that bridge, and I’m not going to get a release until I jump.
  • The worst thing is to get involved with people who aren’t passionate about what they’re doing.
  • Weirdness is not my game. I’m just a square boy from Wisconsin.
  • I wish to Christ I could make up a really great lie. Sometimes, after an interview, I say to myself, ‘Man, you were so honest – can’t you have some fun? Can’t you do some really down and dirty lying?’ But the puritan in me thinks that if I tell a lie, I’ll be punished.
  • Casting people feel that they have to get someone who looks a certain way, and I think that the jury is still out whether people find me attractive or not.
  • I don’t think people want to see me as a regular guy, besides, I’m a regular guy in real life. I guess I just want to be reckless in my work.
  • [on his role in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)]: “To this day, I can’t believe I was so brazen to think I could pull off the Jesus role.”
