I’ve been told that I’m good at impersonating people.

"[Dom is] constantly surrounded by men who are telling her, ‘No,’ and she has to overcome all of these hurdles and break down walls just to get to answers that she instinctively believes are there,” said Gummer. “The fact that she’s the only one who feels that way is cool—especially since the part of a lone FBI agent on the run, claiming to know the truth, is usually reserved for a guy.”

To prep for the part, Gummer shadowed real FBI agents, and says the show’s plot has left her with a healthy dose of paranoia (Dom is out to stop a hacker hell-bent on bringing down corporate America). “I use encryption apps for texts and calls,” she says. As for the hair, “I like it red. People notice me more, and I don’t think that’s necessarily for my work.”

Sporting rusty red hair dyed for her “Mr. Robot” character Dominique, the naturally brunette Gummer says wryly that she was doubtful she would win the role on the Rami Malek-led series because she lacks “any sense of my own talent.” “I feel like I’m very much aware of myself and how I am perceived to the world; I’m very much in my own body and she is so not. She’s just very different from me. But I went in there and because it was a brand new character, I felt like I wasn’t sort of catering to what they wanted or giving them anything I thought they expected from me, in a way,”
