David Dastmalchain. He was an extra for many years before his breakout small role in Nolan's second Batman movie as one of Joker's goons.
I even remember pausing the scene (because he is so good) on one viewing to look him up and saw it was his first role listed on IMDB. (He has since been credited for a few tiny roles prior.)
Now he's in a ton of movies and has Grave Conversations on YouTube where celebrities are interviewed in caskets.
A small but memorable role in Bladerunner 2049, been spotting him everywhere since!
There's no such thing as a small part. He took that to heart and his career has taken off!
And yet this is the first time I hear your name, David Dastmalchain.
If you have seen The Dark Knight, you might remember the scene. Harvey is confronting him after Rachel was taken and Batman intervenes.
David Dastmalchain is the Joker goon who panics and insists he knows nothing. Just in that one little moment he impressed me.
