A behind-the-scenes conversation with Rami Malek

There is often a lot of "down time" on movie sets. This bit of down time offered me the opportunity to talk to Rami Malek about his blossoming career and what it's like when Tom Hanks calls you to be in a movie.

[@joetruth5924]

Hanks was so impressed with Rami that they gave him more lines in the Pacific than originally scripted. It was nice how they developed the friendship between Snafu and Sledge.

[@lehcaraz1]

Thank you to Tom Hanks for helping Rami move out of the shadows and onto the stage. Rami has matured so much since this video. He has weathered strenuous roles and dealt with fame and all the highs and lows that come with it with such grace and dignity. He really carries himself like an old style Hollywood leading man. So proud of him.

[@myrin265]

He's barely 30 here, and now he's 37 with an Oscar... Rami has come so far. I'm so happy for him.

[@mollyprice6508]

wow look at this kid now just played in a huge series called Mr. Robot and a big hit movie called Bohemian Rhapsody look how far he has come now that is real effort

[@misssmims1229]

Ruben Marquez Yes indeed. And still so humble. I admire this man.

[@bonzomcduffy8336]

My absolute favorite character in the Pacific.

[@liltoaster7308]

"Hi ya, i'm Merriel Shelton, I'll take you to the back of the train and you can show me your caboose." Best quote of the series

[@wattsnottaken1]

“Fiesty” 😏 glad I got introduced to Rami Malek and Joe Mazzello from The Pacific

[@michaelasuorsa]

Rami is so humble what a great guy

[@91clarie]

Both Elliot Alderson (Mr Robot) and Freddie Mercury kinda changed Rami's mannerisms (the way he talks, his gestures,....) It's kinda weird watching old interviews like this one cause you really see and hear the difference.

[@AdeleFan25]

0:18 That smile~ He's so cute! You can tell he's very humble. ~ Kat-chan

[@meryemsahin1514]

he has the cutest smile I have ever saw.

[@ashwulf444]

Oh my god his smile is adorable.

[@camillep6873]

can't wait for him to keep winning all the awards for his phenomenal turn as Freddie Mercury, so very talented and a very humble, nice man

[@jpoplover350]

Rami Malek is AWESOME! SERIOUSLY! I would have never known how good his acting ability was! This guy can do any role and completely change himself! There is no doubt his best acting skills we have seen so far were displayed in The emmy winning show "ThePacific" last year! He made me cry my heart out with him and joe who played Sledge. The series finale with him and joe in the train scene when they depart was heartbreaking! Talk about rare friendship!

[@TiaFellton]

is this wHY THEY DRAG RAMI TO PLAY AS JOSH BC LOOK AT HIS HAIRSTYLE AND OUTFIT OMFG

[@ilovesandcastles]

[@freddiemercury4evr]

Young Freddie Mercury! Wicked talented actor!!

[@AlexTheDBZgirl]

[@N3RDProductionz]

[@Anen248]

Man, what a badass voice; maybe he can give me some...Private lessons~~

[@jasminerebeccagray]

Woohoo I found the tahno fan jackpot!!

[@wannabedrewafualo]

Our Pharaoh of Hollywood~

[@aryaloves]

Yes!

[@NoirFan01]

If the old FOX comedy "War at Home" is available on DVD, you should watch it to see Rami when he was on the show as the gay friend to the show's main character.

[@kimoraencalade6695]

I think about channing tatum at night not asking weird questions

[@heidiwarburton7736]

Aww bubba Rami

[@themeepinator]

Aaah he'll pull through it. He's going into a bad franchise, yes, but the last Breaking Dawn film was actually pretty well done, and hopefully this one will be even better. Even if it's as terrible as the first film he'll be a breath of fresh air I'm sure. If there's anyone to play Benjamin and play him well, it's Rami.

[@kyokawaii93]

tahnooo!!!

[@other7128]

His shirt! Looks like he's doing a cosplay of Josh from Until Dawn!

[@2100maryam]

he is so cute !!!!:D n egyptian so :P

[@aryaloves]

4 hours ago, this video had no comments about Tahno . . . but now, it does. I want some private lessons with his sexy voice :P

[@TwilightFlip]

TAHNO, HEY TAHNO :D

[@Briannaamorrison]

you have got to be kiddin me

[@thena107]

My friend is over the moon for this guy. I don't think he's all that cute but I will say he's a great actor. I still can't believe he went from "I am Ahkmenrah fourth king of the fourth king" to yelling "F***ING DIE" with a machine gun in the pacific.

[@jarsars016]

I came here only because I fell in love with his voice on Legend of Korra :)_

[@TheBlackPhoenix100]

That guy's awesome. I have a hard time believing he went from that pussy pharoah to this. I hope that the Breaking Dawn film doesn't phase him to bad. He's going into a bad film, hopefully he knows what he's getting into.
