10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Mr. Robot

Elliot struggles with a lot during the run of Mr. Robot, so much so that you can't help but want to reach through the screen and give the guy a hug. One of his major struggles is with substance abuse, as he habitually uses morphine to numb the pain that comes with his depression.

The way in which he ingests his particular drug of choice most often is through snorting it. Obviously they couldn't have Rami Malek snort actual morphine. So then, what did they use for those scenes? In an interview on Late Night with Seth Myers in 2016 the actor reveled that for most of the time he used Vitamin B pills as a replacement.

At a point, he got tired of having to literally snort crushed up vitamins. In response to this, the prop department set up a vacuum tube inside his sleeve, that way he could making it look like he was ingesting the powder with actually having to go through the hassle of doing it.
