Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Ant-Man, The Suicide Squad, Oppenheimer and Dune actor David Dastmalchian has been creating fascinating characters on screen for more than a decade, but 2025 proved to be a banner year for the 50-year-old Pennsylvania native.
Here are five unmissable performances from the star this year.
'Dexter: Resurrection' -- Paramount+
A central storyline for the New York-set, Dexter sequel series centers on billionaire philanthropist Leon Prater (Peter Dinklage), who is secretly an avid true-crime artifact collector who pays notorious killers -- including Dastmalchian's twin Gemini murderers, Lady Vengeance (Krysten Ritter), Al/Rapunzel (Eric Stonestreet), Lowell/the Tattoo Collector (Neil Patrick Harris) and the Dark Passenger, whom Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is impersonating -- to visit his posh apartment for dinner and regale him with salacious tales.
Dastmalchian has described his characters as a mix of Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye and Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.
