David Dastmalchian has a great face. Since appearing like a sweaty specter in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (2008), that pallid visage has been the subject of plenty of “Who was that guy?” conversations. For those who can’t be bothered to scan the credits for the mysterious, wryly smiling presence, Dastmalchian is just another in a long line of phantasmagorically alluring actors who have what they call in the biz “it.”Despite appearing in the semi-autobiographical film Animals, which he also wrote and directed, Dastmalchian has often been relegated to secondary or tertiary roles, providing bolstering performances in Denis Villeneuve’s Prisoners (2013), James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad (2021), and many more films that have thankfully offered a moment or two to spend with Dastmalchian, but did little to mine the innate charisma hiding behind those sad, knowing eyes.Late Night with the Devil begins with context-providing documentary and docufiction footage that sets the scene for the world. Through a tastefully brief but entirely informative bit of collage work, it’s immediately clear that Jack has to do something outrageous to break the pattern of having B- and C-list celebrities and animal wranglers providing mindless amusement. The fix? Play into the then-contemporary fixation on homegrown weirdos and charlatans who dabble in the paranormal. The found footage broadcast begins; what we’re about to see might astound us.
