David Dastmalchian's got the role of Polka Dot Man with a text in February 2019. He was in Scotland premiering his indie feature, "All Creatures Here Below." Around midnight in his hotel room, his phone vibrated. "I got a text from James that said, 'I want you to be a part of The Suicide Squad.' My life changed in that instant," says Dastmalchian, who had been friends with Gunn for years. Gunn sent him the script, and the actor stayed up until 4 a.m. reading it shocked not only that Polka-Dot Man was a central figure in the film but stunned by how much the role resonated with him. After finishing the script, Dastmalchian grabbed his phone and recorded a raw, emotional voice message for Gunn. He shared the recording with THR. "I'm just really honored that I get to play this character. He is me," Dastmalchian, voice choking with emotion, says in the message. "You don't even know how much my dumb skin conditions haunted me as a kid and how much I felt there was something wrong with me. And how bad I wanted to kill myself 18 years ago when I got the closest I ever came to taking my own life. And now I love my life. And I'm so grateful that I have Eve and the kids and I've got my friends and you."
