Adam Scott
In which John Heilemann talks with actor Adam Scott, best known for his roles in beloved sitcoms including <em>Parks and Recreation</em> and <em>The Good Place</em>. Heilemann and Scott discuss his latest role in <em>Severance</em>, the new Apple TV+ sci-fi series directed by Ben Stiller; why the comedy veteran was eager to take part in the psychological drama; and how the backdrop of Covid-19 and the Trump presidency contributed to the dystopian nature of the show. They also reflect on Scott’s career – from his decade-plus as a struggling actor, his breakout role in <em>Step Brothers</em><strong><em>, </em></strong>and his penchant for playing wanton assholes to hilarious effect<strong> </strong>– and look ahead to Scott’s highly anticipated return as Henry Pollard in the forthcoming reboot of the cult comedy classic STARZ series <em>Party Down.</em><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
