Dashiell Mihok—yeah, folks call him Dash or Diz—grew up smack in the middle of Greenwich Village, NYC, surrounded by every kind of creative chaos you can imagine. His parents, Andrea Mihok and Raymond Thorne, tossed him into the Westbeth Artists Housing, which is basically a wild hive of artists, dancers, actors, you name it. Dash has always said that this oddball upbringing was a lifesaver, especially for a kid with Tourette’s trying to figure out where he fit in. He bounced between the Bronx High School of Science and Professional Children’s School, so yeah, brains and talent both. The guy’s been hustling in showbiz for over three decades—seriously, check his resume, it’s stacked: Benvolio in Luhrmann’s trippy “Romeo and Juliet,” a tough soldier in Malick’s “The Thin Red Line,” braving disaster in “The Day After Tomorrow,” and going toe-to-toe with big names in “The Perfect Storm,” “Silver Linings Playbook,” and “Sleepers.” Not to mention the motion-capture baddie in “I Am Legend,” which is just wild. But everyone probably knows him best as Bunchy Donovan from “Ray Donovan”—that role’s got his fingerprints all over it. Dash’s choices are all over the place, from gritty indies like “Wildflower” to big-budget blockbusters. He’s clocked over 100 credits, acting and directing, and people who’ve worked with him always say the guy’s the real deal—creative, weird, and genuinely cool. On top of all that, he’s been making music since he was a kid, dropping tracks as Diz and The Fam since 2009. These days, he splits his time between LA and New York with his wife, Valeria Mason, and their two daughters, Olivia and Catalina.
Tourette’s syndrome pops up in this movie as more than just a background detail—it’s woven into the fabric of one character’s life, making their journey both hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt. The character doesn’t just struggle with involuntary tics and unexpected outbursts; they also have to navigate a world that really doesn’t know how to react. Sometimes the syndrome leads to awkward, cringe-worthy moments that’ll have you laughing and wincing all at once, but it also shows the raw, real side of living with Tourette’s. There’s a mix of comedy and genuine emotion, and at times, you can almost feel the frustration and the freedom that comes with just letting it all out. The movie doesn’t sugarcoat it, but it doesn’t get preachy either. Instead, it offers up a character who’s flawed, funny, and refreshingly honest, all while smashing stereotypes and making Tourette’s part of the bigger story—not the whole story.
You know those movies where everything flips in a heartbeat? That's this one. You’ve got a main character cruising through, thinking life’s on autopilot, then—bam—one decision, and the whole world tilts. It’s not just about big action or explosions either, it's the smaller stuff. Someone says yes instead of no, someone runs instead of stays, and suddenly you’re watching them spiral or soar. There's this constant tension, like something’s about to snap or break through, and honestly, it keeps you glued. Relationships get tested, secrets spill out, and you’re left wondering what you’d do in their shoes. It’s messy, raw, and real, like life amped up to eleven. The story digs into regret, hope, and all the ugly-beautiful in-between. No neat endings—just choices and the mess they leave behind. It’s kind of brutal, kind of inspiring, and impossible to forget once it grabs you.
