I've watched Mr. Robot, and at no point in that show did I think "wow, this guy could play Freddie Mercury." And yet, Rami Malek took on the role of Freddie Mercury in a way that wholly convinced me he was the part. Watching his attention to detail in bringing Freddie to life on screen, down to his every nuanced movement, in the performance nearly brought me to tears, if I'm honest. I told Rami Malek this when I spoke with him at the screening of Bohemian Rhapsody at the Castro Theater, right before I spoke with Gwilym Lee (who played Brian May) and Joseph Mazzello (who played John Deacon).
