I was watching a video on Willem Dafoe on his iconic roles, and his passion to craft and life, and positivity, exudes from him immensely. In that video, I am surprised he remembers from which of his movies the lines came from. It made me love him more as an actor because he loves life and his job.

But then during the interview, I remembered too when I watched Kevin Spacey's interview before, admiring him and it turned out he is a creep. I was telling to myself about Willem Dafoe "please don't be a creep, please don't be a creep."

Willem seems like a genuinely nice guy though but I hope I don't get proven wrong!

Dick Van Dyke comes from an era where it would be real easy to do a lot of bad shit without anyone ever knowing, and I hope he never did.

I would be devastated if I found he was horrible.

His attempt at a cockney accent in Mary Poppins would get him cancelled by today's culture (and he still gets hate from British people for it). But fortunately, no one said anything about it back then, even though he was surrounded by actual British actors in the film. He claims he was taught the accent by an Irishman, which is why it's so wonky. At least he seems to regret doing it.
