Mr. Robot

Everyone’s buzzing about the epic Mr. Robot finale, which means everyone’s also flailing over the show’s star Rami Malek. The show became a breakout summer hit with its strong visual language, insane plot twists, and yes, with the help of its intensely handsome leading man.

Maybe you think that the American actor was simply plucked from obscurity to star in summer’s craziest series, but that’s simply not the case. Eagle-eyed viewers have spotted Malek in a variety of roles over the years (including one Gilmore Girls cameo). If you want to see more Rami Malek, we’ve compiled five titles on streaming just for you. It’s kind of like a “meet cute” in a romantic comedy, but because it’s all streaming, we’re calling it your “meet queue.” So get ready to fall in love with Rami Malek…

Night at the Museum (2006)

Maybe Mr. Robot put a spotlight on Rami Malek, but his big break was in the 2006 hit Night at the Museum. The then-unknown actor (whose biggest claim to fame was the aforementioned bit on Gilmore Girls) was given the plum role of King Ahkmenrah in the family adventure comedy. Malek would make such an impression that producers brought him back to reprise the role in the two subsequent blockbuster sequels. [Where to Stream Night at the Museum]

The Pacific (2010)

In 2010, Malek made the leap to premium cable with a role in the HBO miniseries The Pacific. The series was the long-awaited follow up to the classic World War II series Band of Brothers — only this iteration would focus on the troops fighting for America’s freedom in the Pacific theater. Malek played Corporal Merriell “Snafu” Shelton in six of the ten episodes. [Watch The Pacific on HBO Now]

The Master (2012)

Malek spent the early 2010s bouncing around Hollywood taking supporting roles in a couple of plum projects. Even though Malek got a spot in Tom Hanks’ directorial debut, Larry Crown, and had a bit part in the indie Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, we’d have to guess he’d be most proud of his work in Paul Thomas Anderson’s difficult, yet wonderful, The Master. The film polarized audiences with its take on Scientology, but gave Malek a chance to work with the best in the business. [Watch The Master on Netflix]

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 (2012)

A lot of really talented actors were tapped for juicy cameos for this final installment of the popular Twilight Saga — and one of them was Rami Malek. The actor brought the popular (and highly moral) Egyptian vampire Benjamin to life. In Twilight lore, Benjamin has the rare ability to control the elements. This made him a particularly powerful ally in our heroes’ final encounter against the villainous Volturi. [Where to Stream The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2]

Mr. Robot (2015)

Rami Malek plays Elliott Alderson, a brilliant young cybersecurity engineer who is troubled with anxiety, depression, and paranoia in Mr. Robot. Elliott is recruited by “Mr. Robot,” a shadowy anarchist vigilante who wants Elliott to aid him in uncovering conspiracies as a hacker. Soon Elliott is falling down a rabbit hole — and discovering that he’s gotten himself into more trouble than he bargained for. [Watch Mr. Robot via Hulu]
