David Dastmalchian Answers ‘Late Night With the Devil’ Burning Questions: Is the Devil in the Audience? Was Jack Hooking Up With Dr. June? And More

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards and Features Editor David Dastmalchian was raised in a religious household where “everything was ‘the Devil’s work’” and he was constantly told not to open myself up to anything evil that could come in. “Fast-forward to me as a grown-up and I’m telling my wife not to order a cursed Ouija board off the Internet,” the actor notes.

He’s also hosted seances, been published in “Fangoria,” penned the graphic novel series “Count Crowley: Reluctant Midnight Monster Hunter” for Dark Horse Comics and served as the brand ambassador for a line of caskets.

And, of course, starred in the hottest horror movie of the year as the lead in “Late Night With the Devil.” The indie feature from brothers Cameron and Colin Cairns was released by IFC in theaters, where it’s already made a robust $10 million.

And as of today, it’s available to stream on the horror network Shudder. Dastmalchian might be better known to audiences as “that guy I love from that thing” – be it “Prisoners” or “The Dark Knight.” He’s made a big impression in smaller roles like Polka-Dot Man in “The Suicide Squad” or “guy from Queen” opposite Jack Black’s Wolfman Jack in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.” And he’s played the lead before — most notably in the acclaimed indie “Animals,” for which he also wrote the screenplay based on his own experience with addiction.
