‘Mr. Robot’ Star Rami Malek ‘Very Proud’ Of USA Network Series
“Mr. Robot” has gained a cult-like following not just in the U.S., but also in other parts of the world.
Stars of the show are aware that the show has devoted fans, but it wasn’t until Rami Malek, who plays the series’ lead character Elliot Alderson, encountered a fan in Serbia that he realized how big the show’s effect really is.
During a panel, as quoted by Variety, Malek said: “I was just shooting a movie in Serbia and so many young kids came out and waited outside my hotel to talk to me about [‘Mr. Robot’]. They had nothing but good things to say about the show and how the characters have affected them. I’ve never had that experience before.”
Malek added: “I’m very proud of what [series creator] Sam [Esmail] has created and that the show is bringing attention to people suffering with mental illness. To help people around the world is very satisfying.”
Slater echoed Malek’s statement, saying: “Being a part of this show and having other experiences that didn’t necessarily go in the direction that I would have liked to have gone in has certainly made this a much deeper and gratifying experience.”
While the two were eager to share their thoughts about the show’s reach, they were not as generous when it came to Season 3 details. However, Esmail did tease that the upcoming season will be focused on “disintegration,” according to Deadline.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Esmail also said that fans should keep an eye out on what Angela (Portia Doubleday) would do. Fans have been on the fence about the character because her intentions are not clear, but things will become more definite when the new installment arrives. Fans should also look forward to what will happen to Darlene (Carly Chaikin) now that she is under the custody of the FBI.
“Mr. Robot” Season 3 has not been given a release date.
