Rami Malek is discussing excited for audiences to see his new movie, The Amateur. Speaking with PEOPLE at the premiere in New York, the Oscar winner said spoke about starring in an action movie. "That's something I never thought I would really ever say," he said. "I love this character because I find him extremely relatable." He also added, "People have been using the term "geek" and "nerd," but I just see someone who's really underestimated or overlooked, and the guy you least expect to go on and use his ingenuity and resourcefulness to be quite the badass, essentially. And I'm excited to share that with everyone who who might feel overlooked or unseen or alienated and anyone who is a fan of this genre and beyond, basically everyone."
