Such a versatile actor. This dude deserves more protagonist roles.

[@ppandgg]

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Polka Dot Man is one of us?!

[@PrysterZ]

Saw him recently in Late Night with the Devil such a great movie, talented actor and finally getting his recognition.

[@franciscotorres1005]

Second that, me and my friends saw it and all loved it he nailed his performance. So awesome to see he is an anime fan too.

[@monsterking1973]

How is it am planing on checking it this weekend

[@digiharps]

learning david watches black butler blows my mind (since its my personal fav) but also makes SO much sense 😂

[@owenharrison761]

Dastmalchian is a really good actor, I knew him through his work in Ant-Man, and from there I am interested in seeing the roles he will play

[@TheGamefreak612]

I’m soo happy to see David getting more exposure. He is such a talented actor

[@polkadotjohnson]

26:26 Yeah, that's how I feel about his movies, I watched all of them, now what? I need more!
Also YES to him starring as both D and Sebastian, make it happen people!

[@JackTraits]

Loved him in "late night with the devil"!

[@Ved_L]

Favorite episode to date!! Love the horror conversation and LeAlec’s buttery voice😃

[@Cococrash11]

Awesome David Dastmalchian Talks Anime, Luffy’s BDay Bash, and New Studio Ghibli Honors The Anime Effect Video.

[@tonymacintosh3744]

I really like the characters he has played and he seems a good person. cheers to you Sir.

[@Ebyruchan]

I would love to see how he'd play Sebastian, lol ngl

[@hexlemorte5201]

Real one for this

[@cornpillows]

Yo David is so freaking cool!

[@IOSARBX]

Crunchyroll, You're amazing! I hit the like button as soon as I saw it!

[@saadsrequiemforsasuke7041]

Never in my wildest dreams did I think the Arkham inmate Thomas Schiff the joker set free and Luis's superstitious baba yaga guy also liked anime, namely Black Butler, which is too funny in English. 2:20am 2.4.2024

[@tylergoodman3560]

Great chat. 🎉

[@monsterking1973]

Well this is a surprise

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@AnimeRPGgame]

doesnt black butler already have a live action

[@denizplays1307]

... I dunno why, but my brain tells me that David might be a good or decent live-action Pheonix Wright, and not because they mentioned Ace Attorney on this ep. of TAE lol

[@adventuresinbasicreality219]

Vampire Hunter D is more deep okay I like him.

[@mohdimansaifullizan6193]

Marvel & Dc

[@Holywra]

Hello Crunchyroll, we want you to add the Bleach anime to us (upload this comment)❤

[@gadnosam9626]

I support the English V.A.'s I have been waiting a long time for gear 5, please do not spoiler it for us who choose to support the wonderfully talented English V.A.s! Thank you!

[@humanoidehd7143]

Not even an apology for the Miku Expo scam?

[@kazuthesamurai7346]

You know Crunchyroll is nothing but a fool and a joke when they cannot even pronounce Ghibli correctly 👎

[@nickf.3529]

Everyone’s doing podcast now feels kind of weird but ok I guess 🫤👌
