Rookie Actress Robby Hoffman Shines in "Hacks" Emmy Nomination

In August 2025, Robby Hoffman, a 35-year-old comedian and writer, is making waves in the entertainment industry with her Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in the HBO Max series "Hacks."

Hoffman's acting journey began just recently, with her second major role being in the FX series "Dying for Sex" in 2024. Despite her relative inexperience, Hoffman has found acting to be "one of the easier things" she's done, describing it as a "pleasure and a great gig."

The "Hacks" team specifically wrote the character of Randi, Hoffman's unnerving assistant character, with her in mind. Hoffman, who grew up in a Hasidic family in Brooklyn and Montreal, is embracing the increased attention that comes with her Emmy nomination, even though she finds the industry's campaign machine "weird." As she continues to shoot a new HBO comedy, Hoffman is excited to come onto the acting scene "a little more baked," confident in her abilities and ready to shine.
