After years without having an agent or manager, David Dastmalchian signed with producer Charles Roven's management company, Atlas Entertainment. Previously, Dastmalchian fielded acting offers himself via his personal email address listed on IMDB Pro and worked only with a publicist and a lawyer to keep his career on track. It was an unusual arrangement for someone booking roles in blockbusters for Marvel, DC, and director Denis Villeneuve. "I've been the person who is on the phone with people. No agents, no managers," says Dastmalchian, who would pass contracts on to his lawyer, Duncan Hedges, when it came time to negotiate an offer. "I've been doing everything myself and got to know these people really intimately, which is the way I like to do my business." His Squad castmate, Daniela Melchior (Ratcatcher II), recalls Dastmalchian bringing those personal touches to his interactions with the cast and crew as well. "When it was my birthday, he was the first talking about it many days before. 'Don't forget about Daniela's birthday. We have to get her polka-dot cookies,'" Melchior recalls with a laugh. Now Dastmalchian is cooking up new issues of his comic, "Count Crowley: Reluctant Midnight Monster Hunter" and has been working in Berlin, filming the Dracula-tinged horror film, Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023), with his family in tow. He's enjoying the moment, and maybe even letting himself believe he's worthy of a superhero ending. Back in 2019, Dastmalchian wrapped that 4 A.M. voice message to director James Gunn with the same words that so worried him on set. "I'm a superhero," the actor told Gunn. "So thank you."
