00:00 I was generously provided with talking points addressing Willem's incredible achievements,
00:05 all of them true, but nothing can really match up to the man, the artist, the friend.
00:13 Willem has shown me in the earliest stages of my development that there is
00:18 no one way to create a character, to steal a scene, to terrify, to seduce,
00:25 to make people laugh and to be a leading man. I'm going to go off book just for a second. I saw
00:31 Platoon in the movie theater with my father and he made me cry so hard my dad sent me to the bathroom.
00:39 This was 1986. I was like 10 years old and I still wanted to be an actor.
00:45 So one word-for-word talking point I got from the people here.
00:53 It said Willem has been called one of the greatest American actors in our lifetime.
00:58 I'll call him that. I'll go as far as to say he is the greatest American actor in our lifetime.
