Andrew Scott on Being Called "Hot Priest," Friendship with Irish Actors & New Netflix Show Ripley

[@mrmdaher]

I love this man. He was so snubbed at the Oscars for all of us strangers

[@ashgamer1]

So true 🌈🌈

[@johnnolan5579]

And so was the movie.

[@shannmaddox1836]

He absolutely was. It’s a shame.

[@georgedominguez255]

Yes historians of cinema will agree!

[@DesigNatedAudio]

💯

[@kathybell6268]

Andrew was stunning in All of us Strangers. For all of us who long to have conversations w our parents we never had it was it was a gift.

[@shannmaddox1836]

He’s so brilliant in that film. He should have been nominated for an Oscar.

[@margaretsmist7140]

What a movie - I cried.

[@verasikharulidze3249]

Gosh, such brilliant words "For all of us who long to have conversations with our parents we never had..." - literally made me cry 🥺

[@verasikharulidze3249]

These words literally made me cry - such a brilliant and precise description 🥺

[@clairemorris2816]

I cried too. And it was shot and based in the area I live and grew up in!

[@alexaales7937]

his performance as 'Moriarty' in 'Sherlock' was mind blowing!!!!!

That is where I first saw him and was completely hooked

[@lenaf.s811]

It was insane 😮

[@missimin]

He's now the gold standard for Moriarty. He should play The Master on Doctor Who next.

[@tedtamada]

Ripley is one of the best series I’ve seen in a long time, long time. It’s absolutely fantastic and Scott gives an amazing performance.

[@amitaflowers26]

Agree. 👏🏽

"All of us strangers" was great!

[@Ellierua]

Fantastic actor and seems to be genuinely lovely.

[@amandasaunders2503]

Just binged the whole thing (Ripley). It is stunning, every shot looks like a painting. Andrew can convey so much without saying anything. You switch between being terrified of Ripley and rooting for him. He’s been my favourite actor since I saw him in Sherlock. Wish I lived in the UK so I could see him in plays. I’ve only seen his Hamlet because they filmed it and put it online. Hope to be able to watch Vanya too.

[@mrmdaher]

Omg this! Me too, same thoughts!

[@helenc1943]

The limited release has finished I believe. A National Theatre Live film which may appear on their National Theatre at Home site one day.

[@sallymowbray4611]

His Vanya was the most incredible thing I've ever seen! I didn't believe it was possible before I saw it but within only a few minutes you knew who all the characters were and truly believed in them as separate entities, almost forgetting it was only one actor! Just stunning.

[@juliewillard1367]

I binge watched it too. It was magnificent. have been to most of those places in Italy and it was beautiful to see it again. I go to Italy in 6 weeks for 10 days, can’t wait.

[@tgraves12]

I felt the same way.

[@manus21]

loved him ever since I saw him in sherlock and I'm so happy to see that he gets more and more successful and popular with every role he plays. He's such a great actor and person

[@Monika-mh2je]

He's so talented, I'm so happy Andrew getting more and more recognition. Congratulations!!!👏

[@seaniek9175]

Lovely man an outstanding actor. Represents our country very well. Proud of him. Not long ago since his mother passed.

[@finnfan33]

Oh no, it is terrible to lose one's mother. May she rest in peace and Andrew find peace. Mine passed in 2021.

[@MatteBlack2024]

Scott stole my heart in the highly likable Fleabag as the “hot priest.” . So glad to see his career take off.

[@emu_warrior]

you sound like a AI bot

[@bev9708]

It was his Black Mirror turn that stole mine!!

What are you talking about? His career took off a long time ago.

[@luciamiller1555]

What a likesble charming man! I will now search for him in stag, Ripley, and all of us strangers. He seems amazing, and I adore all the other great Irish actors he mentioned.

[@ada1392]

He’s one of those actors that everyone loves❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AngelusHale]

Between Fleabag, Ripley and All of Us Strangers I'm madly in love with this man. His performances are stunning, EVERY single time. I would LOVE to see him in a play.

[@bethprice338]

He has four plays that were filmed. He sis Hamlet for the BBC and three for National Theater Live, Present Laughter, Three Kings, and Vanya. Google National Theater At Home and you should be able to find out how to stream them. Hamlet is floating around on bootleg. I've seen them all, and he is always completely stunning!

[@iveylynmay]

Agree. He's stunning.

[@jacobooooo]

i saw vanya at the cinema, it’s absolutely fantastic how he pulled all of the characters off. it was brilliant.

[@theabraham8164]

It's a west end play, how did you see it in the cinema?

[@HMMurti]

@@theabraham8164 National Theatre Live filmed it and showed the film in theatres.

[@amandasaunders2503]

They filmed the play and it was released in theatres.

[@fionavirginia]

I love him in Ripley.

[@catherinedonnelly9958]

He gave a performance for the ages in All of us strangers. Absolutely deserved more plaudits for that film.

He’s so generous! So cool of him to acknowledge the female Irish actors. The media usually only focuses on the men. 🥰. Love Andrew! He’s incredibly talented. Wish I could’ve seen his one man play!!😩😃🥰

[@winromeo]

What an extraordinary actor who always like to hone his craft! Everything he does has intention. “All of Us Strangers” was absolutely fantastic, and it will sit with you for a long time.

[@DesigNatedAudio]

My #1 actor!!! His performance in All Of Us Strangers changed my life!

[@lovelife8128]

I just discovered him a few months ago as Hot Priest and OMG he's phenomenal. What a major talent. Gift.

[@top500reviewer]

I enjoyed Ripley so much! Great acting and visually beautiful

[@lovey980]

Andrew’s presence first resonated with me on the second season of Fleabag. He had a familiar face, but I wasn’t sure of his specific works. Fast forward to now… I just watched All of Us Strangers a few weeks ago, and absolutely loved it (although it’s very depressing). And I cannot wait to start watching Ripley.

[@boymoontube]

Great actor and a really friendly guy.

[@lenaannis8787]

I have visit Ireland and he is a true Irish. Most of the people i met there are so nice and friendly and polite. Every time i took a train a younger person will stand and give a the seat and i was not an old lady just older then the person. I never have seen this in any other country that I visit. Love to Ireland fm Greece!!

[@ellieh0397]

He's come such a long way since Sherlock!

[@FatNorthernBigot]

He's grown into himself.

[@Boomer_Johnson]

Best Moriarty EVER!!!!

[@realPlinkett]

Such a long way since Band of Brothers!

[@helenc1943]

Thanks to international streaming he is now a huge success and growing but has been highly regarded and awarded for his stage work and less high profile movies for many years. Watch his Hamlet and other movies on KZbin.

[@KJ-je9pm]

So happy for him!

[@jbidwell605]

People should not compare the film to the Netflix series. They are both great in their own right. The photography in the series is absolutely stunning and worthy of awards. It's filmed like a love letter to Italy.

[@samanthab1923]

Loved him in PRIDE. Thought he was Welsh 😮

He is truly amazing ❤

[@LoneStreet]

The person who said Screamed when Kimmel mentioned the Hot Priest five seconds in is all of us.

[@AngelicAmygdala]

I first saw Scott in 2007 in an episode of "Nuclear Secrets" on the History channel, (way back when the History channel actually showed history documentaries) playing Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov. I fell in love with him right then, and I've enjoyed following his career ever since. His performance in the Black Mirror episode "Smithereens" broke my heart. He deserves to be successful.❤

[@beachfan9380]

The Talented Mr. Scott.

[@daniipieper2486]

About the whole speaking Italian with slightly different tones to it: I honestly do think people notice, but not like "Oh look what he did there!" The audience will FEEL the effort and quality in some way. It gives the acting more depth, even if the audience can't put the finger on why exactly it feels so well done.

[@elisabettaluciani9080]

True. As an Italian I could hear it very well. An American speaking Italian, not an Irishman, not an Australian…he nailed it.

[@EdenMcCoy-rt9hp]

​@elisabettaluciani9080 that's wonderful to hear ❤

[@sofiacastaneira914]

Andrew Scott, a brilliant actor, amazing!

[@Backpfeifengesicht45]

Bumped into him in Dublin airport years ago. I mean literally collided with him. Such a nice guy. Even after nearly mowing him down with my 6'2" frame and rolley luggage. Edit: He's in a brilliant Irish movie called The Stag. It's like The Hangover, but much more heart and just as funny.

The best interpretation of the book so far, even better than the old movie with Delon. Sooo good. I hope they will adapt the other books as well.

[@classactsexpertiseandinspi4815]

It was kind of Jimmy Kimmel not to mention family to Andrew in this chat, as Andrew just lost his beloved Mum suddenly only weeks ago in March. Andrew was great to be able to fulfil his proffessional obligations to promote his projects given how raw the loss is. Such a talented charming man, God bless him.

[@mad-official]

Always been a big fan of Andrew evee since seeing him on Sherlock. Really talented underdog actor like Cillian. Was really impressed with his performance in that Black Mirror episode too.

[@stellatilly9911]

Jimmy says “who would pick up on the subtle accents?” but having watched Ripley before this video, i did. it was one of the things i noticed very much because (i think) the actors playing italians are italian so speak it well and when andrew scott appears speaking italian its completely american sounding!! i could hear more irish accent in the english language bits than italian.

Best series ever

[@iranisrising4035]

What a lovable guy

[@pearlypawbeans]

When I binge-watched Ripley, I didn’t realize it’s a re-interpretation of “The Talented Mr Ripley.” I barely remember that movie. It’s so cool that they took the same basic plot and made it so different. I also didn’t realize Andrew Scott wasn’t American. I also didn’t realize that was Dakota Fanning. Andrew Scott really nails the American accent. You can also hear his character’s learning arc, as he becomes fluent in Italian. The British and Irish actors I’ve seen on Netflix are so great at acting as well as accents. Now I want to see all his other performances. He seems like a genuinely nice person as well as an amazing talent

[@pearlypawbeans]

On a side note, I was also really intrigued to find that Sting’s child was in Ripley. Eliot Sumner. All great & interesting actors
