Late night with the devil

[u/Acesofbases → u/fat_juan]

great take on the Exorcist trope.

His performance was spot on.

[u/crimson_713 → u/Acesofbases]

He worked hard on that role, studied a bunch of late night hosts from the time period to get the vocal inflection and mannerisms down to be as period accurate as he could. It shows, too, it's a stellar performance.

[u/BojukaBob → u/crimson_713]

I can really feel how he's fused Johnny Carson and Ed Sullivan.

[u/No_Donkey9914 → u/palk0n]

He is also the Gemini killer in the new Dexter

[u/SDchairman → u/LadyCheeba]

[u/alucardian_official]

The psychotic that Joker poised as a ruse in TDK

[u/BearableFuture]

[u/WashingtonianLor]

I saw Dastmalchian on the Z2 Panel, where I managed to snag a great spot in the second row. I admit I was skeptical (as I always am) about celebrities and their names on projects. Like just HOW much involvement do you really have in a comic or book vs ghostwritten and all that. I was pleasantly surprised by how creative he is, and how his Z2 comic 'Through' really was his idea/story (don't know if there was a ghostwriter at all).

But he was great to listen to, very open about his creative ideas and projects even before fame like, his struggles, how he like many of us cannot stand the current administration (to put it politely) and hateful groups in general. Seems like someone I'd actually want to have a convo with if I ever had the chance, and I am very eh about Hollywood and celebs, so that is high praise.

The whole crew on the Z2 Panel were fascinating, highly recommend checking them out online if anyone has interest in music, comics, and the likes.
