Willem Dafoe stars in a video clip by the newly formed Greek musical duo GAMMAGAMMA, featuring Giorgos Karnavas (producer, Heretic Films) and Prins Obi (known from the band Baby Guru).
In the captivating video clip for the song “Tomorrow Night,” Dafoe stars as a solitary patron in an Athens tavern. Despite the song’s synth-heavy “dive” sound, Dafoe is compelled to rise and dance on a flower-strewn dance floor, evoking comparisons to Thom Yorke’s iconic moves in the “Lotus Flower” video.

Dafoe himself shared his enthusiasm for the project: “It was a great pleasure for me to meet again with Vasilis Katsoupis and Giorgos Karnavas, the director and producer of our film ‘Inside.’ It’s a crazy piece of kinesiology and I’m always happy to be in Athens.”
This isn’t Dafoe’s first “Greek” connection; two years ago, the prolific actor starred in Greek Director Vassilis Katsoupis’ claustrophobic thriller, Inside, which was set in a luxurious New York apartment.
Inside tells the story of Nemo (Willem Dafoe), an art thief trapped in a New York penthouse after his heist does not go as planned. Locked inside with nothing but priceless works of art, he must use all his cunning and resourcefulness to survive.
Now, Dafoe makes another memorable appearance in Athens.
Willem Dafoe: Among the top versatile actors
Dafoe stands as one of cinema’s most compelling and versatile actors, renowned for his intense gaze, distinctive voice, and fearless commitment to character. His career, spanning over four decades, began in experimental theater with the Wooster Group before he transitioned to film.
Dafoe first garnered widespread attention with his chilling portrayal of Sergeant Elias Grodin in Oliver Stone’s Platoon (1986), earning his first Academy Award nomination.
This role cemented his reputation for inhabiting complex, often morally ambiguous or villainous figures, a trait he masterfully brought to characters such as the Green Goblin in Spider-Man (2002) and various roles in films by Lars von Trier and Robert Eggers.
Beyond antagonists, Dafoe has showcased remarkable range, from the compassionate motel manager in The Florida Project (2017), which earned him another Oscar nod, to Vincent van Gogh in At Eternity’s Gate (2018), a performance that secured his third nomination.
His ability to seamlessly blend into independent art-house features and major studio blockbusters is a testament to his adaptability. With his striking presence and dedication to crafting unforgettable performances, Willem Dafoe remains a respected and consistently working force in contemporary cinema.
