Although he wouldn't need much makeup, I suspect it's voicing CGI. (And arguably better than Japan's, but on a Netflix-original budget, not by much.)

He doesn't need costume or CGI,he's creepy looking enough already Laughing Excellent choice though for the character. Each announcement is getting me more and interested in this

Probably the only good casting choice they have made so far.

He should have been Light.

At least he doesn't look like somebody who would find opening a milk bottle challenging.

I really can't think of a better actor to play Ryuk... I definitely don't feel the same way about the other casting choices, but new actors have to start and grow somewhere...

Not sure about the rest of the cast, but Dafoe as Ryuk is a really nice choice.

Lol, because Willem Dafoe totally can pass as a high schooler.
