Scott’s star has been rising in Hollywood in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in Severance (2022), Big Little Lies (2017-2017) and Parks and Recreation (2009-2015). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Scott now is – what next?

  3. It would give Adam Scott a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
