[@edwardscissorhands1707]

He had to endure over a decade of being given very few minor roles. Mr Robot rightfully put him on the map and he probably thought was going to be as good as it got for him. a lead role for the USA network known for its underwhelming lineup & WWE. Mr Robot is worthy of a network like FX or AMC. i think Rami won a Golden globe for season 1 and Emmy nominations. Being the lead character on a critically acclaimed tv show with underwhelming ratings for a mediocre tv network couldn’t overshadow his raw talent. i love Mr Robot and i love rami’s character that much more. i didn’t know how to react when i heard that his first lead acting role for a movie was going to be a biopic for band Queen. His performance in bohemian rhapsody is unlike anything i ever seen. i am so happy for Rami. he’s finally a STAR and he’s about to go supernova on the world. ❤️ this is just the beginning for him!

[@lehcaraz1]

I so agree! I believe Rami won the Emmy for Best Actor for season one of Mr Robot and a Critics Choice award for same. He was nominated for GG but did not win that award until Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@jogon7914]

The more I listen to this guy the more I admire and like him. He is a very intelligent and thoughtful human being. And to be such a good actor too and take on such an iconic larger than life rock star like Freddie is amazing. I'm glad that the 4 guys bonded so well on the film and great friendships were made by cast and crew. I've got a friend who is an actor friend of Ben Hardy and I'm happy for the four guys who played these legends. They deserve all the goodwill and euphoria and love people have for them and the film. Rami is a great guy and a great calm down to earth guy. I look forward to seeing more roles he takes on in the future.

[@happyclam1266]

He needed their respect and he got it. Bravo!

[@coolasevasm]

Lol I think part of that was because Rami was still a buzzing with emotions after winning that award. Even tho Rami was still cool and articulate like he always is but I can sense that he was overflowing with happiness, joy, energy, sense of pride like he can't wait to punch the roof and celebrate but kept himself under control for the press. And when he addressed the pressed right until he said "who would like to begin??" I felt what Rami wanted to really say to the press was "I did it bitches! Despite your critics we all still won! Now what else do you have to say?? Give it to me! Bring it!" Like trying to challenge the haters. Lol!! But still kept himself poised and humble because he is Rami Malek. I don't know if anyone else saw that or maybe it's just me. Lol!!

I am currently watching The Pacific, in which you play a US Marine fighting in WW2. This is also an amazing role you play.

[@lehcaraz1]

In light of the recent college admissions scandal I think again about Rami and his struggle to get his education. Coming from a modest immigrant family his mother took three buses to get to her job as an accountant while raising Rami, Sami, and Yasmine while his father went door to door selling insurance. They worked hard to send their children to a Notre Dame High School to get the best education possible. Rami then pursued scholarships and took on up to a hundred thousand dollars in student debt to obtain his BFA from Evansville University in Indiana. He worked jobs as a waiter in New York for a few years and returned to Sherman Oaks and slept on the floor of a two bedroom apartment he shared with his father, mother, and brother while he worked more part time jobs and stuggled to break into Hollywood. His sister is now an ER doctor, his brother a teacher, and Rami is an Oscar winning actor. His family is a true testament to the value and hard work that immigrants also bring to our country. These entitled wealthy families who stole and bought their childrens education through fraud should be ashamed and litigated and I have completely lost respect for those involved in the scandal and refuse to watch any more of the work put out by the actors involved.

[@ftiland]

lehcaraz1 what scandal? Is he involved?

[@lehcaraz1]

@@ftiland No, I was referring to the ongoing investigation involving Hollywood movie stars Lori Loughlin, and Felicity Huffman as well as 48 other wealthy individuals who were caught by the FBI in a sting. They were paying bribes of millions of dollars to get their kids into high profile universities by cheating on tests and having their children touted as athletes who had never practiced the sports. These kids were unable to get in by merit. Their SATs were too low and their grades did not qualify for the colleges. I was contrasting the fact that Rami came from a very modest family and had to work hard to get his education and ended up with large school debt that took him years of acting jobs to pay off. This whole deal shows the wide desparity between the very wealthy and the lower classes in America.
