He shares how he landed his breakout role as Thomas Schiff, The Joker's henchman opposite Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, what he learned from Christopher Nolan, and why that opportunity changed everything. David also talks about working with Denis Villeneuve on Prisoners, Blade Runner 2049 and Dune, James Gunn on The Suicide Squad, Kevin Smith, Ant-Man, and how Late Night With The Devil helped cement his place as one of modern horror's biggest stars.
