How Adam Scott Split Himself In Two for ’Severance’ - In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast

Adam Scott is one of the funniest screen presences of the past decade. But the road to becoming the sitcom stand-out we know and love was anything but an overnight success. “I had friends in school who I graduated with who, from the very start, said ’oh, no, I don’t want to do this or that.’ Kind of turning their nose up at certain things,” Scott says. “And I was always of the mind of, ’I’m going to do anything and everything. I just want to get in front of the camera or get on stage and do anything.’ And I did, for a long time.“ In this episode of “In the Envelope,” Scott walks us through the highs and lows of his entire career, from early roles in movies like “Hellraiser: Bloodline,” to comedic breakouts “Party Down,” “Step Brothers,” and “Parks & Recreations,” all the way up to his dynamic dual-sided turn in Apple TV ’s “Severance.” Brought to you by UCLA’s Professional Programs at the School of Theater, Film & Television. -- Backstage has b
