How did season two change the way you thought about Darlene?
Did you and Rami talk about being related?
Weve really built this backstory and talk a lot about what it was like.
Is Darlene inconvenienced by any of the changes shes spearheaded?
Yeah, of course.
We see her in the beginning on the floor crying, seeing the consequences of what happened.
If I dont see this through and we dont follow through then Im the monster.
She really tool all that to heart and thats what shes holding onto is finishing what she started.
Have you done research on any of the subject matter ofMr.
Robotnot for your character, but just out of personal interest?
I think its made me think a lot about how technology has changed our human relationships.
And also just hackers and what they can do and what they have done in the past.
Are you more cautious about whats online?
My best friend was like, That is not going to happen.
What was the wave like asMr.

All these things were happening that were really cool and different and kind of hasnt happened before.
Has it changed your life a lot?
Im such a loser, I dont really go out.
But its definitely changed my life as an actor and the way I approach acting.
Sam has just challenged me as an actor and its of course helped my career.
In a way it has changed my life for the better and I couldnt be more grateful.
Do you like not knowing some of the secrets of the show?
There are some things that I would need to know.
But overall, there are still so many things that I dont know that Ill ask Sam.
Ill be like, Why?
And hes like, Dont worry about it.
So Id rather not know in a way.
Is the top question, Is Elliot really dead?
Well, were all just convinced that hes going to kill all of us.
Are we all going to die?
hey tell me youre not going to kill me.
Is the cinematography any added challenge to perform in the bottom corner of the screen?
No, because I dont see it.
