Actor Willem Dafoe
From Platoon to Antichrist, The Last Temptation of Christ to Spider-Man, Willem Dafoe is one of the world’s most unusual and recognisable actors. His latest role is typically intense, embodying Vincent van Gogh in a new biopic – a performance which required him to learn to paint with his director (and artist) Julian Schnabel. He spoke with Christiane Amanpour from New York.
