About this episode
David Dastmalchian joins to talk about the journey from addiction, homelessness and living in his car to becoming one of Hollywood's busiest character actors. He shares how he landed his breakout role as Thomas Schiff, The Joker's henchman opposite Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, what he learned from Christopher Nolan, and why that opportunity changed everything. David also talks about working with Denis Villeneuve on Prisoners, Blade Runner 2049 and Dune, James Gunn on The Suicide Squad, Kevin Smith, Ant-Man, and how Late Night With The Devil helped cement his place as one of modern horror's biggest stars. Plus, his lifelong love of horror, Halloween, comic books and Fangoria, writing graphic novels, creating worlds with Z2, and the projects still ahead, including Street Fighter, Shepherd, Dust Bunny, and more.
