David Dastmalchian, the well-known American actor, has gained recognition for his outstanding roles in movies such as The Dark Knight, The Suicide Squad, Dune, and Late Night with the Devil. Interestingly, he is also a big fan of anime.
During a circulating clip from a previous interview on Crunchyroll Presents: The Anime Effect, Dastmalchian delved into his experience of portraying a variety of vibrant characters throughout his career.
When questioned about how his love for anime influences his acting style, he explained that he hasn’t had many opportunities to fully immerse himself in the distinct storytelling and performance techniques of anime, which are vastly different from Western media. Nonetheless, he expressed his enthusiasm for future anime projects and his desire to push his boundaries and take on new challenges.
Dastmalchian highlighted the exaggerated mannerisms and gestures of anime characters, comparing them to the exaggerated style of acting seen in commedia dell’arte, an Italian theatrical tradition. He also mentioned how exploring fatherhood has allowed him to discover new anime, though he still holds Vampire Hunter D and Black Butler as his top favorites.
It is evident that he has a strong passion for portraying anime characters, as seen in his interest in taking on roles such as Vampire Hunter D and Sebastian Michaelis in live-action adaptations. Considering his previous roles and his desire to play darker anime characters, it is highly likely that he would excel in these challenging roles.
During both his recent interviews, he expressed his fondness for One Piece. Surprisingly, the second interview was conducted before his official casting as Mr. 3 was announced, suggesting that he may have been in discussions with the creators beforehand. This further demonstrates his genuine passion for anime and his enthusiasm for being involved in adaptations like this.
