David Dalsmalchian (@dastmalchian) is a triple threat – writer, actor and producer, appearing in independent films and major blockbuster hits alike. This quality makes him the perfect actor for films like The Dark Night (2008), Ant Man (2015) and Prisoners (2015) where he plays disquieting yet distinctive characters. However, success was not easy. His persistent persona, which brought Animals (2013) to SXSW, comes from pulling himself up by the bootstraps after battling his heroin addiction. In this episode, David gets real about finding success after addiction, what it is like to make a successful indie film SXSW-ready film, and his non-linear path as an actor.
David’s collaborations with Buffalo 8 include the Buffalo 8 Post-Production and Produced film Teacher (2019).
