He plays the kind of creepy like able genius type so well if that makes since.

He’s been in 8 million movies but I think his character in Boondock Saints is my favorite.

He’s just so weird/smart/successful/like able in that movie

From a straight acting standpoint, Elias (Platoon) is pretty solid.

So was his Jesus Christ.

But, yeah, I'm partial to his character in Boondock Saints as well.

He was a great villain in “To live and die in L.
A.”

Obviously Speed 2 Cruise Control.



Without him going bonkers as the bad guy nobody would even remember that movie exists.

Not his best role, but underrated role might be Shadow of the Vampire.

What a weird, dumb, but also awesome premise.

Point is that you don’t need to be 6’4” with muscles to be intimidating. With Dafoe, it’s his believable facial expression, voice and delivery that does the trick.

I'd say his role in Platoon most likely.
