History Creator / RamiMalek

* ''Amsterdam'' (2022) as Tom Voze

* ''Film/{{Oppenheimer}}'' (2023) as TBD

* BadassBaritone: His deep voice is showcased in ''Series/ThePacific'' as Snafu, and in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' as Tahno.

* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Inverted. He's most famous for playing a socially awkward, serious character but interviews show that he's much more lively and funny in real life.

* ''Amsterdam'' (2022) as TBD

* ''Film/{{Dolittle}}'' as Chee-Chee

* ''Series/{{Medium}}'' 2005) as Timothy Kercher

* ReclusiveArtist: He has social media, but is rarely active.

* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: He and Creator/PeteDavidson resemble each other a lot. It came to the point where they both impersonated themselves in a skit when Rami hosted a episode of Saturday Night Live.

* FakeNationality: An American who has played a [[FictionalCountry Kamistani]] (judging by the name, somewhere in south/central Asia or perhaps the Caucasus), a [[FantasyCounterpartCulture fantasy!North Asian]], and [[Music/FreddieMercury a Farsi-Brit]], among others. In an unusual coincidence, while he has played Americans (e.g. the Cajun Merriel Shelton in ''The Pacific'') and Egyptians (e.g. Ahkmenrah in ''Night at the Museum'' and Benjamin in ''Breaking Dawn''), he has never actually played an American of Egyptian descent (unless Alderson's family changed its name at some time).

* OlderThanTheyLook: He's 40 but can still easily pass for his twenties.
* PhenotypeStereotype: His light skin and blue eyes have thrown some viewers off in regards to his ethnicity, even though these features aren't exactly unheard of in North Africa. Amusingly, a few people [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1061438-we-wuz-kings even complained]] when he was cast in ''Night at the Museum'', accusing the movie of whitewashing Egyptians. ''Malek is an Egyptian'' (although he is of partial Greek descent, but still of Coptic heritage -- Copts speak a language that's directly descended from Ancient Egyptian and not Arabic).

* ''Series/MrRobot'' (2015 - 2019) as Elliot Alderson

* DarkerAndEdgier: His turn as Elliot in ''Series/MrRobot'' depicted him to be even more [[MrFanservice hotter and sexier]] than his previous roles. It's taken UpToEleven with his character [[EvilIsSexy Safin]] in ''Film/NoTimeToDie''.

* ''Literature/Papillon'' (2017) as Louis Dega
