Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin in Spider-Man (2002)
Willem Dafoe was extremely well cast as Norman Osborn, the man who becomes the Green Goblin. Dafoe is a great actor who can chew scenery when the role calls for it, and Osborn/Green Goblin is without a doubt one of those roles. For example, he thinks he’s two different people. Also, homicidal maniac. Did we mention the character is a major nut job?
