Mr Robot's BD Wong channels Whiterose in Thanksgiving trolling about whether Tyrell Wellick and Angela are alive

Wong released a whole series of "please define.." tweets in response to 'Mr. Robot' fans who tried to get him to spill the beans about whether Angela and, the other fan-favorite, Tyrell Wellick, had really died or not

It all started with one poor Twitter user frazzled at all the twists Sam Esmail had pulled in 'Mr. Robot' Season 4 this year. Responding to the promo for the upcoming episode 9 that suggested Angela may not be dead, he tweeted: "Is Angela really dead ??" to which B. D. Wong, who plays Whiterose, replied: "please define 'dead'."

It was the start of "Thanksgiving - The Trolling Edition" authored by B. D. Wong as he released a whole series of "please define.." tweets in response to 'Mr. Robot' fans who tried to get him to spill the beans about whether Angela and, the other fan-favorite, Tyrell Wellick, had really died or not.

To another fan asking if Tyrell was dead, Wong replied: "please define 'Tyrell'." One fan responded asking him to "stop playing with our hearts", but Wong was having too much fun to stop, posting a gif image of a Christmas tree being set on fire, referencing the way he destroyed a Christmas tree in episode 2 of season 4 and posting several "laughing gifs" of everyone from Bette Davis to Pee-wee Herman to Karen Walker (of 'Will and Grace') in response to the anguished tweet-wails by those invested in the show.

One twitter user observing the proceedings from a distance commented, "This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for @BD_WONG and his full course of playful retorts served with sadism-tinged gravy. But seriously, the #MrRobot fandom loves you for engaging us, and I personally love you as an actor and look forward to more teasing during future projects."

To this, Wong replied with a gif of a turkey being set on fire. Yup, there was a lot of arson involved on his twitter feed, reflecting his "Whiterose" persona's delight in destruction.     

When Wong tweeted, "I can definitely verbally confirm: that Tyrell sure is a live wire, isn’t he?", a sharp-sighted fan asked if Tyrell "is" or "was" a livewire, to which Wong replied: "Sorry. Yes, should clarify. Tyrell 'wis' definitely a live wire." There is no getting spoilers from this one. 

'Mr. Robot' airs on the USA Network Sundays at 10/9c.
