2. Willem Dafoe

Willem Defoe has one of the most recognizable and creepiest faces known to the world of cinema.

Although we thought he would never truly manage to hide his face we were, apparently, oh so wrong.

In Shadow Of The Vampire, a fictionalized account of the filming of the classic vampire film Nosferatu, Dafoe ups the ante as he transforms himself into a kind of proto-vampire.

He was so great in that role that he doesn’t get recognized until the movie credits start rolling. And we thought his face will never cause a wondering thought or two.

We wouldn’t like running into him with that mask that’s for sure… or without it.
