Actor David Dastmalchian claims that ‘The Suicide Squad’ changed his life

David Dastmalchian is an American actor. He was born on July 21, 1977, in Pennsylvania and raised in Kansas. He began his film career as a minor character in Christopher Nolan’s hit film The Dark Knight.

Before starting his professional acting career, he worked as a fisherman, circus performer, theatre usher, and playwright. He also struggled with drug addiction before becoming sober.

The story of Polka-Dot Man, played by David Dastmalchian, is central to James Gunn’s film. A large part of why a film like ‘The Suicide Squad,’ which is currently in UAE theatres, works is due to its cast members and how they humanize these anti-heroes.

“I got a text from James that said, ‘I want you to be a part of The Suicide Squad.’ My life changed in that instant,” says Dastmalchian

He Said, “You don’t even know how much my dumb skin conditions haunted me as a kid and how much I felt there was something wrong with me. And how bad I wanted to kill myself … 18 years ago when I got the closest I ever came to taking my own life. And now I love my life. And I’m so grateful that I have Eve and the kids and I’ve got my friends and you.”
