The Pacific: Malek earned rave reviews for his role in the HBO miniseries, in which he played the emotionally disturbed Marine Snafu.
The Master: In Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2012 film, Malek played Clark, the son-in-law of Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and a devoted follower of Dodd’s cult.
When Mr. Robot premiered last summer, it catapulted star Rami Malek to an instant Internet heartthrob.
The Pacific went on to win eight Emmys that year, including for casting, which we’re going to pretend is solely for casting Malek.
