David Dastmalchian parents: Who are his father and mother?
Priscilla (1941-2020) and Hossein Dastmalchian (1937-2021), an Iranian-American engineer who worked at engineering firm Black & Veatch and later became a Court Appointed Special Advocate, welcomed David Dastmalchian into the world on July 21, 1975 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
He characterized the “tumultuous” divorce of his parents and their subsequent remarriages. He was reared in Overland Park, Kansas, and joined the drama club at Shawnee Mission South High School. The Kansas City metro area, according to him, was “extremely traditional in one sense, and a conservative town that yet had a rad, fringe, artistic, progressive tribe of folks who were finding connectivity through the arts and the culture of KC and the neighboring suburbs.”
