52 | !!Tropes in his works: |
53 | |
54 | * LooksLikeCesare: He tends to be typecast as villains or mentally disturbed characters ([[BreadEggsBreadedEggs or mentally disturbed villains]]), partially because of his pale complexion (in part due to vitiligo in his youth), large dark eyes, and jet-black hair. He and his fans have even [[https://twitter.com/Dastmalchian/status/1440722889687269381 acknowledged how much he resembles this trope.]] |
55 | * PromotedFanboy: He grew up collecting comic books, and he's appeared in several Creator/DCComics and Creator/MarvelComics-[=based=] films and series. |
56 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Was interested in playing adult Richie Tozier in ''Film/ItChapterTwo''. He also auditioned for the role of Pennywise. |
