He has appeared in films alongside Christian Bale, Charlize Theron, and Denzel Washington, and he has also worked with TV producers and directors Sam Esmail and Nic Pizzolatto.

Malek’s star began to shine brightly in Hollywood’s night sky when he lent his talent to the critically acclaimed television drama series Mr. Robot, playing the character of Elliot Alderson. The show was conceived by Sam Esmail, a visionary creator who deeply understands the complexity of modern digital cultures. Together, Malek and Esmail began their collaborative journey in 2015. Their partnership redefined the landscape of television, combining intense performances with innovative storytelling to keep audiences on edge until the series concluded in 2019. In 2016, the partnership bore fruit as Malek was awarded his first Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, an illustrious recognition acknowledging the depth and power of his performances.

In 2018, Malek paired with visionary director Bryan Singer to tell the story of one of the music industry’s most iconic figures.
