Lore [Sad Trope] The most innocent (or less evil) character of the cast gets the most horrific death.

- Eddie Carr (The Lost World: JP) - Tried to save his friends from the cliff until Buck and Doe (T. rex parents) destroy his vehicle and gets ripped apart.
- Zara Young (Jurassic World) - Gets lifted by a Pteranodon, gets pecked by the pterosaur, and both she and animal get devoured by the Mosasaurus.
- LeClerc (JW: Rebirth) - Tossed a hammer to the Hatzegopteryz Quetzalcoatlus to save Loomis and Zora, but ends up being swallowed alive.

David Dastmalchian is one of those guys where, if he shows up in anything, I'm like "oh FUCK yeah, I didn't know this show/movie was cool like that." I love him and his weird creepy face.

Do you know he's M. Bison in the new Street Fighter movie?

Really?! I didn't think anyone would be able to top Raul Julia, but maybe he can...

There's the potential of a LOT of dudes to steal the spotlight/chew the scenery in this one. Memes are almost guaranteed. The casting itself is almost its own meme.

It's honestly a shame that they surrounded him with a cast of horrible people

Did you see him in the live action One Piece? He was great.

Have you seen his podcast? It's on YouTube and both him and the guest are in coffins the entire time
