Carly Chaikin talks Mr. Robot Season 2, Darlene’s evolution and more!
Carly Chaikin, who portrays Darlene on USA’s hit series Mr. Robot, sat down with Pop-Break.com for a roundtable interview at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday July 22.
Chaikin is no stranger to the small screen — having stolen audience’s hearts and funny bones on ABC’s cult sitcom Suburgatory. For the past two television seasons, she’s been killing it as Darlene, an fsociety hacker, who we found out in one of the biggest twists of the first season, was in fact our hero Elliott’s (Rami Malek) sister.
