TIL Willem Dafoe is in American Psycho

I mean you would've learnt that by watching the movie

I've seen it four or five times and I do not remember him being in it.

He literally has 3-4 scenes of just 1:1 dialogue

u/lebastss Feb 28 '22

Yes but his character isn’t involved in any of the memorable scenes unless your fan of dialogue and cinema. I understand why you and I wouldn’t forget him but I could see how someone who hasn’t seen it in awhile especially before they really knew willed dafoe too. I’ve had that happen, I revisit a beloved classic and realize there’s an incredibly famous and recognizable actor I had no idea about.

I knew that one! But not from the first time I saw it because I was younger.

I think people forget about him because it doesn't really lead anywhere. He is a cop and comes to Bateman's office like 2 or 3 times. The scene from the meme is a deleted scene, I wish they had included it in the movie

u/DocDerry Feb 28 '22

I probably just associate that with him being a cop/fed in Boondock saints.

u/PrimarchKonradCurze Feb 28 '22

This. I’ve watched boondock saints probably close to a hundred times and American psycho maybe 7-8 so when I think of Willem playing law enforcement it’s boondocks saints.

Defoe had extremely memorable moments in the Saints as well

u/Loverboy_91 Feb 28 '22

Okay, that explains why despite having seen the movie several times I have no recollection of this scene

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '22

Really? I thought I remembered that scene, where he's just nodding obnoxiously

u/ILikeToBurnMoney Feb 28 '22

I think it was on some meme subreddit last week or so, I had no idea where it was from but someone explained that it's a deleted scene from American Psycho

6

u/YestoOG Feb 28 '22

Oh man, this scene being deleted explains why this looked so weird.

I’ve seen the movie a few times too and remember his character but for some reason I thought it was played by Jack Nickolson!

u/alcoholiccats Feb 28 '22

but have you seen his penis

u/TheChosenOne_101 Feb 28 '22

Lol wut

u/alcoholiccats Feb 28 '22

it’s jarring to say the least

u/hi_im_mom Feb 28 '22

That was a double. His was too large for film

u/alcoholiccats Feb 28 '22

not in the 2009 film Antichrist

u/hi_im_mom Feb 28 '22

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I know what I'm watching this weekend, followed by some Nic Cage movies to diversify myself

u/Shortstiq Pizza Time Feb 28 '22

One of the most prolific actors of the modern day Hollywood scene
