As a small-town kid studying at UWM in the 1970s, Willem Dafoe never dreamed of becoming a star. But he’s gone on to become one of the most acclaimed and in-demand actors in the business.
Dafoe spoke to more than 600 students at an event modeled on the talk show “Inside the Actors Studio.” He was in town to speak at commencement and to receive an honorary Doctor of Arts degree.
The four-time Oscar-nominated actor will return to his alma mater May 22 to receive an honorary degree and deliver two commencement speeches.
The UWM Panther Arena hardly needed illumination on Sunday. The wattage from the smiles of some 2,100 graduates and thousands of friends and family lit up the place just as well.
Rashaud Foster found his voice at UWM, and he found an outlet for his ambitions in a Journalism, Advertising and Media Studies audio lab.
More than 3,600 UWM students celebrated as they received their hard-earned diplomas Sunday and looked forward to a bright future.
