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.
Beginning today, viewers can catch the premiere episode of IMDb
Me on www.funnyordie.com, as well as at www.imdb.com/imdbme and on
IMDb’s iOS and Android apps. 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. I’m so excited for Jake to dig deep with such amazing
actors about the highs and lows every career in entertainment
faces,” he added.
“We’re thrilled to team up with the comedic geniuses at Funny Or
Die, and are long-time admirers of the shows they have produced,
including Between Two Ferns,” said Col Needham, IMDb’s Founder and
CEO. “It’s fun to see top celebrities reading between the lines of
their IMDb name pages, providing an all-new perspective on their
careers. The results are informative, personal, and often quite
funny.”
