Please tell me you’re seeing this, too: Bobby Cannavale will join the cast of “Mr. Robot” as it returns for a third season in October.
Cannavale (“Boardwalk Empire,” “Vinyl”) will join the cast as “Irving, a laconic, no-nonsense used car salesman.” USA Network announced the casting on Friday, and also said that recurring guest star BD Wong – who plays Whiterose, the leader of the Chinese-based hacker organization Dark Army – has been upped to series regular.
