The Green Goblin, re-designed for the Spider-Man film.
William J. "Willem" Dafoe (born July 22, 1955) is a two-time Academy Award-nominated American film and stage actor, who played the Green Goblin in the Spider-Man film series.
He is a popular character actor; due to his harsh facial features and crooked smile, he is often typecast as unstable or villainous characters, such as the psychotic Green Goblin in the Spider-Man film series and Barillo in Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Before that, he was briefly considered for the role of The Joker by Tim Burton and Sam Hamm for the Batman film in 1989. Hamm recalls "We thought, 'Well, Willem Dafoe looks just like The Joker.'" The role ended up going to Jack Nicholson.
