Now, following the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home and the rise of the sickly skinny white man as a sex and meme symbol, Dafoe is experiencing a massive boost in meme-ability. For over a decade, the actor has been inspiring image macros, photoshops and countless other meme formats, including some of the most classic formats in our database.
It's exactly because of these roles and reasons that Dafoe became an unstoppable force in memes. Dafoe stands out as a memorable force in just about every role he takes on, whether it's an insane lighthouse keeper in The Lighthouse to Spider-Man's number one nemesis The Green Goblin. Since his film debut in 1980, the star has become one of Hollywood's go-to guys when a movie needs a good villain thanks to his long face, strong brow, pointed facial features and, not to mention his unique voice and acting skills. Willem Dafoe is one of the most well-known names in acting today.
