Are you a 'hacker type'? Then 'Mr. Robot' wants you.
Do you have an affinity for black hoodies and a pallor to your skin that says, "you bet I spend 99 percent of my time indoors?"
If so, here's your chance: A New York casting agency is looking for "hacker types" to serve as background extras in a scene of techno-thriller Mr. Robot.
The hit USA Network show, which stars Rami Malek as cyber security worker cum vigilante hacker Elliot Alderson, finished up its second season in mid-2016. Season 3 begins in October, and it looks like they'll need some geniuses coding away in the background of an upcoming New York shoot.
The ad doesn't go into much detail regarding just what a "hacker type" is, but judging by the show's diverse cast, it really could be anybody.
The agent is look for "non union" actors, though. That feels a little more E Corp than fsociety.
