BD Wong Not Staying Hush-Hush About Enigmatic "Mr. Robot" Role

It was not a bad summer for you! Along with appearing in the year's highest grossing film, you got some amazing notices for "Mr. Robot."
BD Wong : The ["Mr. Robot"] job came to me rather last minute. It was a lot of hush-hush about where the character was going or what the character was. It was very much like the Jurassic Park movies. In fact, this was the only TV version of the hush-hush security thing that I've ever experienced.
It was the first TV project in which I was not allowed to understand, read the script, or be told even very fundamental details of what was happening. So, shooting it was a little maddening, but the sense that this was a project that everyone was talking about and that it was on the brink of something was palpable.
Watching it all unfold has been really great for me. It's been really satisfying, especially now with social media and all of the actions on social media in response, because the "Mr. Robot" audience is the social media audience. So, they're all alive and on fire about this series, in particular about this particular character. And that's great. I loved it.
