When asked WHY the University of Evansville, by Ben Travers, an indiewire.com blogger, Rami had this to say ......

I really wanted to get out of Los Angeles. It’s all I kind of ever knew. I loved it, but I had a love-hate relationship with it at times.
Understandable.
I just wanted to get the best education, I thought, from a theater standpoint. I went to Chicago, I went to New York and as much as I loved those cities — I really do — I wanted the best program. I went to a play there; I saw “The Merchant of Venice.” They’re doing Shakespeare in Southern Indiana, in this tiny school, and they were killing it. So as much as I didn’t want to go to Southern Indiana, forgive me, I ended up having a blast and met some incredible friends, got a great education. I’m so happy that I did.

Last night, during the 2016 Emmy Awards, he was aware the coveted Best Dramatic Actor award. It is the first Emmy for Rami Malek.
