Mr. Robot, a suspenseful and mind-bending thriller created by Sam Esmail, really launched Rami Malek’s career. Before winning an Oscar for his role in Bohemian Rhapsody, he starred as Elliot Alderson, a cybersecurity worker at a somewhat questionable company called Allsafe. Elliot struggled with social anxiety and a dissociative identity disorder, and found an outlet by becoming a hacker who fights for justice, especially after being drawn into a mission by the mysterious Christian Slater’s character.
