The hit USA Network television series starring Rami Malek, Mr. Robot, is now filming in New York City and casting directors are looking to fill a role. Mr. Robot follows Elliot (played by Malek), who is a young programmer that works as a cyber security engineer but behind closed doors is a vigilante hacker.
According to USA, Elliot finds himself at a crossroads when the mysterious leader, played by Christian Slater, of an underground hacker group recruits him to destroy the firm he is paid to protect. Compelled by his personal beliefs, Elliot struggles to resist the chance to take down the multinational CEOs he believes are running (and ruining) the world. The series also stars Portia Doubleday (“Her”), Carly Chaikin (“Suburgatory”) and Martin Wallström (“Simple Simon”).
