Cinema Therapy | DAVID DASTMALCHIAN: Psychology of an Actor (Part 1!) @CinemaTherapyShow | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Work with a member of Jonathan's team on one of his trauma or relationship programs! Go to mendedlight.com/ct and schedule a first session appointment today.
How does an actor get into the psychology of their character?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are joined by special guest, David Dastmalchian, to launch a new series, Psychology of an Actor. They ask David about his experiences as an actor and how he gets into the psychology of a character. David shares his mental health journey and how it has shaped his life and career. They start with his first-ever role in The Dark Knight (!) and work through his career as David lets us into his process. But they talk so much that they only get through part of David’s extensive career. Subscribe to see another episode with David in the near future, as soon as the strike is over.
This episode was filmed during the Writer’s Strike.
According to SAG-Aftra, independent film reviewers are welcome to discuss movies that have already come out. These films were produced under previous contracts and wouldn’t be affected by any changes resulting from the strike.
Any praise for the films we discuss is praise for the writers, actors, directors, and so many other artists and craftspeople who made them. Without their labor, we wouldn’t be able to watch our favorite films together. Without their labor, our show wouldn’t be as impactful. Without their labor, our show wouldn’t exist.
We support their strike efforts. If you’d like to support them as well, go to www.entertainmentcommunity.org.
