Willem Dafoe Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Willem Dafoe continues to cement his status as one of cinema's most versatile and sought-after actors, with several major developments unfolding in recent months that paint a picture of a career in full creative bloom.

The most recent public sighting came in early August when the 70-year-old actor made his first red carpet appearance in months at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, looking notably different from previous outings. Dafoe was attending the world premiere of his film "The Birthday Party," where he stars as a Greek billionaire in director Miguel Ángel Jiménez's drama. At the festival, he sported longer gray hair and a casual dark red sweater, quite a departure from his more groomed appearance back in April.

On the film front, Dafoe's slate remains remarkably full. He's preparing to reunite with director Robert Eggers for what will be their fourth collaboration on the dark werewolf film "Werwulf," set in 13th-century England and slated for release on Christmas Day 2026. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp are expected to join the cast. Following that project, Eggers tapped Dafoe to play Ebenezer Scrooge in a new adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" that the filmmaker is currently writing and directing for Warner Bros.

Perhaps most unexpectedly, Dafoe recently stepped into the corporate world in a major way. In September, the legendary actor partnered with Laphroaig single malt scotch whisky for the distillery's first-ever celebrity collaboration. He starred in a short film called "The Taste," directed by music video auteur Tim Pope, exploring the whisky's complex flavors through metaphor and storytelling. The partnership will extend to a limited-edition whisky collaboration set for release in 2026, with Dafoe playing an active role in developing the product. This marks a significant expansion of his brand beyond acting.

On the cultural front, Dafoe was named artistic director of the Venice Theatre Biennale's 2025 and 2026 seasons, a role he took seriously while curating a program centered on the theme "Theatre is Body, Body is Poetry." He even participated in salon conversations discussing his approach to theatre and his longtime work with experimental theatre collective the Wooster Group, with whom he was creatively aligned for a quarter century starting in 1977.
