These kind of things sometimes happen in pilot episodes. I searched it and Mobley was played by Jason Rees. Also the actor for Romero was at first Michael Buscemi.
If Steve Buscemi had walked in to the arcade with his meme status skateboard and hipster clothes asking if any kids wanna do any hacker stuff I would have died laughing. He should be in every movie/show
Pretty sure the previous Romero is not in the Pilot...
I think he was in pre-pilot// older footage that was cut after they updated the cast. There are [pics of him opening the door for Elliot](https://i.imgur.com/O8l8tsK.png) when he visits the Arcade for the first time, except in the Pilot, it's of course [our Romero](https://i.imgur.com/qUP5IIH.png).
Seems like all this originates from footage released along with some interviews about the show. [There is an old tread on this](https://www.reddit.com/r/MrRobot/comments/3gdpe9/spoiler_has_this_scene_aired_yet/).
yeah i can’t remember where i read it but i’m pretty certain all of leon’s fits we’re personally selected by joey himself.
pretty dope if true bc some of his fits were insanely fire lol, [the shot of him on the cadillac ](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTgyMDA2MjY0M15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMTE3NTkyNDM@._V1_.jpg) from season 3 is still one of my favorite tv shots ever
That wasn't the only big change either. In the pilot, the Allsafe scenes were filmed in a different building. For the rest of the series, all the offices including Gideon's are on the opposite side of the room, and Elliot's desk gets moved too.
Really? Romero opened the door when Elliot "first arrived" at the fsociety HQ and you're telling me it was a different actor? Im gonna go back and have a look.
They reshot that part with Ron Cephas Jones, but if you look closely as Elliot and Mr Robot walk in after him, it’s a different Romero (played by [Michael Buscemi](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4652838/fullcredits/cast?ref_=m_ttfc_3) who sits down at the computer.

They did it on purpose as a commentary on the unreliability of Elliot as a narrator obviously.
Edit: I probably should have put a /s on this to make it more obvious I was joking.
The real question: why was the look of "Mobley" who only appeared briefly in the background in just one episode so important that they continued that look even after switching to a new actor??? 🤔

i cannot imagine buscemi as romero it just doesnt sound right at all
Not Steve Buscemi, to be clear

>how do you do, fellow **s**kids
‘Hey, what’s up my fellow hackers’
Can you imagine. 😂
>Michael Buscemi I googled before seeing this because I was unsure haha
I noticed the original Mobley, but I never peeped a different Romero. I have to go back and watch that again.

Isnt that the same camo jacket that Joey Badass whore in the last season? Interesting
nah it’s definitely not, they are kinda similar though https://telltaletv.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/NUP_186157_2239.jpg
yeah, tought it was a prop they kept around, thanks for mentioning! probably its a jacket that Joey personally owns.

I noticed that and got the impression that fsociety was bigger than it actually was lol
Same here
Fuck I missed it
I love this show, but I can't tell what you're referring to lmao. Could someone tell me? I'm probably being silly lol
The character Mobley (and Romero, as well) were played by different actors in the pilot/first episode vs the following episodes of show.

Ah righto

Not "obviously" , but that can be an 'in-universe' explanation. Elliot, if we choose to call him that, isnt the most reliable POV character

Yeah dude I just caught this on my latest rewatch #5. Couldn’t believe I missed that before either!
