As for Willem Dafoe, his time onSNLis much more recent.
Dafoe’s appearance came on the heels of his return as Green Goblin forSpider-Man: No Way Home.
He was officially cast as David Tebet inSaturday Nightroughly two years later.
The sketch jokes that Braun is Lindsey Buckingham in a cousin Greg costume.
