Pedro Pascal has hailed Willem Dafoe as the best American actor in the world.
This week, Dafoe was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which his fans believe is a long time coming.
Pascal was present at the ceremony as Pascal's friend and colleague, as the pair worked together on 2016's The Great Wall.
“I saw Platoon in the movie theatre with my father and he made me cry so hard my dad sent me to the bathroom,” Pascal said in Los Angeles.
“He redefines the concept of rebel and originality by making it about generosity, integrity, kindness and fun. Willem is a good time and an amazing friend.
“He has been my greatest teacher. I’ll go as far to say he is the greatest American actor in our lifetime. You cannot compare his career to anyone’s, truthfully.”

After planting a kiss on his new star alongside Poor Things colleague Mark Ruffalo, Dafoe told fans:
"It's wonderful to be part of this community of artists and entertainers. People that by sharing their experience can imagine others' perspectives, telling stories on what is, was, or most importantly could be. They make us feel closer together and connect us."
Though he has never won an Academy Award, he has been nominated on four occasions and is poised to receive another for his performance in Poor Things.
