Are you a fan of the technology drama thriller series Mr. Robot? One New York-based casting agency is now offering you a chance to be a part of the show.

According to Mashable, Grant Wilfley Casting is looking for “hacker-types” to serve as background extras in an upcoming scene of the hit techno-thriller.

Although the casting call did not go much into detail on what exactly “hacker-types” must be like, many presume that applicants must mirror the show’s protagonist Elliot Alderson (played by Rami Malek).

The fictional cyber-security expert/hacker is projected to be highly adept in technology but is closed off to the rest of the world. He is also best remembered for his propensity to wear black hoodies.

The ad requires applicants to be available both day and night for shooting.

Interested applicants are urged to send their information through email at ucpcasting@gwcnyc.com. The full casting ad is available here.

Mr. Robot, meanwhile, concluded its second successful season last September, while the third one will resume sometime this October.  Khristian Ibarrola /ra
