David Dastmalchian is no stranger to playing dark, complex characters, but he dubs the role of Lester Billings in The Boogeyman as one of the scariest roles he’s had to tackle yet.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In celebration of The Boogeyman’s June 2nd nationwide release, I got the chance to chat with Dastmalchian about the making of the film, beginning with his decision to turn down the role initially. What exactly happened during that meeting that gave Dastmalchian the confidence that he’d be in good hands with Savage? Here’s what he said:
“It was like being back in theater, and I loved knowing that at any second things could implode. Things could go sideways. You take a lot of risk when you’re choosing to act in different ways, and I felt like with this, I wanted to really be as vulnerable as I possibly could so that we could create a tension. I think that scene just has so much weight on it.
