David Dastmalchian now non-binary

Huh, I thought he was out when he judged for Dragula.

Interesting.

Showtime has been showing Last Voyage of the Demeter for the past few months, and it's on nearly every day.

He played the First Mate on the Demeter, and I had never seen him before, so I googled him, viewed his Instagram, etc.

Everything I read about him seemed perfectly boring, except that he had Vitiligo.

So this actually comes as a surprise. He just seemed like your average straight guy.

He's a former heroin addict.

Davyd?

THEY are, r3.

R3 I was JUST reading about that as you typed your response.

What a weird coincidence.

Here's an article where Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails interviews David.

It's really good, and David does in fact talk about his heroin addiction and how he beat it.

Where did he say he is non-binary?

I don’t think he’s nonbinary just because he wore a dress in a photo shoot. Brad Pitt did a whole photo shoot in dresses circa Fight Club and I don’t think anybody batted an eye

Who?

Who cares?

We do. Because this is DL and we must speculate about the sexuality of men who are even halfway good looking.

Halfway? I'm getting 33% from this one.

The black nail polish reminds me of the emo bisexual guys I crushed on in the 90s.

[quote] David Dastmalchian was born on July 21, 1975, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, to Priscilla and Hossein Dastmalchian. His father was an Iranian-American engineer who worked at engineering firm Black & Veatch. He has two sisters and a brother. His parents divorced, which he described as "tumultuous", and both remarried.

[quote] He was raised in Overland Park, Kansas, where he attended Shawnee Mission South High School from which he graduated in 1994, having been part of the drama club. He described growing up in the Kansas City metropolitan area as "very traditional in one sense, and a conservative community that also had a rad, fringe, artistic, progressive tribe of people who were finding connectivity through the arts and the culture of KC and the surrounding suburbs."

[quote] In his childhood, Dastmalchian developed vitiligo, for which he suffered ridicule from his peers. Consequently, he experienced depression throughout his childhood. Growing up, he enjoyed football, theater, and comics. He would mow lawns, saving money to buy comics. He studied at The Theatre School at DePaul University and graduated in 1999.

[quote] Prior to beginning his career as an actor, he dealt with a heroin addiction for five years. He wrote about his experiences in his screenplay, Animals, and continues to advocate for mental health and substance abuse treatment programs. Shortly after becoming sober, he worked at a seafood restaurant in Kansas City. He was also briefly a fisherman in Alaska.

Nobody knows who this is.

R14 Of course we do.

You can see all the photos here.

How many dresses does he own? He's doing interviews with girly nail polish on.

....

[quote]Where did he say he is non-binary?

He's not.

This is just the 'woke ' progressives (who currently run the U.S. media/entertainment industry and despise traditional masculinity) trying to push this so-called 'new masculinity' (i.e. feminized men) as the new normal.

But he looks ridiculous! America ain't buyin'.

I feel bad for the current male celebs, who are more or less forced to do these photoshoots or risk being called 'transphobic' and blacklisted.

They're going to be mocked so badly in a decade or two.

In fact, this whole ugly, pessimistic, 'woke' era is going to be fodder for future comedians.

I think he's sexy.

R20, I didn't think Dastmalchian was particularly attractive in The Last Voyage of the Demeter, but he was sexy in Late Night with the Devil. It was a good movie, too, and he gave a compelling performance. In real life, the painted nails and women's clothes are a total turn-off, though.

He may have done some desperate things when he was an addict living on the streets.

....

I’m sure he knows all about dick.

Quite beautiful man, especially in R18's pic. The girly nail polish wouldnt put me off for a moment

Fake news

Late Night With The Devil is worth watching, the concept makes it better than the usual horror films of late.

I like exotic looking men.

To R22, I need to know what the "despicable, horrible acts" David did to survive on the streets!!

Please have him post them here on DL, he will feel better.

I assume he was giving blowjobs for heroin.

Has he done nudity?

He's in a couple of upcoming Mike Flanagan projects.

He said he once thought about robbing someone by threatening their baby with a dirty needle. Sex work doesn't seem out of the question.

This is where he tells that story.

The red eye shadow is different.

I remember when he was still the creepy red herring in "Prisoners." I think that was the first time I saw in anything. Then, suddenly he was getting cast as creepy weirdos all over the place-namely "The Dark Knight." Pretty sure that one came after. But maybe TDK was first? I'm too lazy to look it up!

TDK was the part that got him noticed. He's also written a series of graphic novels called Count Crowley and the film Animals based on his experiences as an addict.

Fantastic actor and really nice guy.

He was the best part of Gunn's Suicide Squad aside from John Cena.

He should have played Randall Flagg in The Stand.

OP's link is gone so here are the photos he's referring to.

He has an incredible story to tell. I hope he writes a book.

There's a haunted look in his eyes.

Are Iranian men well hung?

One of you whores must have the answer.

He's hosting Samson VS. The Vampire Women on the Mst3k Turkey Day Marathon.

....

He's looking quite thin and pale in his recent Instagram. I hope he's okay.

He's very busy.

He looks like he's back on the smack.

Whoa, he's doing a movie with Ashley Greene? THE Ashley Greene?

Hmmm...

How long is he gonna milk his heroin addiction. Honey, if that's the biggest thing you have going for you, you may as well just change your name to Teacake and move to DL permanently.

He's trying to help others overcome addiction.

....

He seems to be a really nice guy. Everyone says he's humble and down to earth.

bump

Bi vibes.
