The first episode features Academy Award nominee Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project, Shadow of the Vampire, Platoon) who begins talking about his very first IMDb credit, Heaven’s Gate, and the story behind his firing. Dafoe covers many of his acting credits, spanning four decades and over a hundred films, with great commentary and behind-the-scenes trivia including a story about the improvised birds scene from his most recent film, The Florida Project.

All episodes will be directed by Jake Szymanski (Tour De Pharmacy), whose voice is heard off-camera asking talent questions about their roles and challenging actors to remember specific details from movies they have long forgotten. Additional episodes are slated to premiere beginning next month.

Fans will also receive regular updates about the series on IMDb’s and Funny Or Die’s social media channels, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

“As everyone in the entire world knows, Hollywood talent celebrate and obsess over their IMDb pages,” said Mike Farah, CEO of Funny Or Die. “So I’m not certain a more important series has ever existed.
