David Dastmalchian is having an incredible year filled with numerous noteworthy appearances in movies such as “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “Boston Strangler,” “The Boogeyman,” “Oppenheimer,” and the upcoming Dracula film, “The Last Voyage of the Demeter.” However, the role that truly made him nervous was a cameo in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.” In a recent interview with Slash Film, the experienced character actor reflected on his experience filming a scene at a pool surrounded by an ensemble of talented and funny individuals. Dastmalchian, who is not typically known for comedy, felt the pressure of delivering the punchline in the scene, particularly with so many comedic heavyweights present. He admitted to feeling a mix of disbelief and anxiety, as he aimed to land the joke successfully. Fortunately, after the scene was wrapped, he received praise and support from fellow cast member Jack Black, solidifying his ability to excel in different roles. This scene not only showcased Dastmalchian’s versatility but also strengthened his claim that he would make an excellent Bond villain. It’s hard to argue against that.
