"I Would Have To Set My Phone On Fire" - Adam Scott On Achieving Work-Life Balance

[@pamelahofman1785]

I don't understand why more people aren't talking about, or seeing, Severance. It's an amazing show with a really original concept. I hope it gets more views and public attention.

[@mr.balloffur]

I just watched it.... AMAZING!

[@beyourself2444]

I love it

[@xK0VI]

Availability. It's only in Apple TV or ad-ridden sites. Half year ago I barely heard about Apple TV and found out about it because of Ted Lasso. But yeah - this is gem and should be more known.

[@fredericoespinoza]

Apple TV, also its a slow burner some people just cant sit their for deep meaning shows.

[@mewsao]

because it’s on apple tv

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

"Weirdly intimate, like I'm seeing someone's genitals or something" I didn't know I needed that. Until now I really couldn't summarize the bizarre feeling that comes with seeing the bottom half of someone's face for the first time after knowing them for months but Adam Scott nailed it.

[@metroid1396]

I once said, while eating at the table, that masks were the new underwear and everybody looked at me weird wondering why I said underwear and not shirt. Glad to know I am not the only one thinking this

[@survivalman6114]

Adam scott is one of the best actors working today, he is believable in every role he plays

[@infamousElle]

Not mentioned was his part in BIG LITTLE LIES, which he was also great in. Love him.

[@prachim.7882]

Also briefly in "The Good Place"!

[@AV-db5fb]

His character was so good in Parks and Rec, he was so relatable!

[@kevinfager.]

Oh weird. I just recognized the song that plays during his 3 second claymation today when he’s jobless and in crisis. How can it be that short! He is The Architect.

Caught Party Down in 2011 for the first time, and fell instantly in love. Brilliant writing and such a bittersweet story. Been waiting for the reboot forever!

[@delrey874]

Severance is the best show of the year so far.

[@actualhumangirl]

Been an Adam Scott fan since Party down. I am so ready for more. Even if we're not getting Lizzy Caplan this time round (I think those of us who watched it when it was on are used to cast reboots due to availability anyway).

I found out about Party Down just after the first season. I remember getting really angry they canceled it at the end of the second. I am so glad to hear it's coming back! If you haven't seen it, go watch the original 2 seasons. It's hilarious, clever, and at times hilariously stupid.

Man I’m excited for more Party Down. Adam Scott is a gem!

[@theheartofablackbird2109]

It's so amazing that they can actually bring back Party Down - so many great people in the original. And a precursor to about 10 other similar shows.

Party Down was VERY funny. I've been following Adam Scott's career since the one season of (2007) HBO's Tell Me You Love Me. And enjoy seeing him pop up in older stuff here and there like the beginning of Star Trek: First Contact. Really good actor.

[@jennyonthespectrum4581]

Maybe Adam Scott gets as nervous as me in front of people. His hands are shaking. Or he caffeinates like me 😂

[@ohiocitydave]

Could also be neurological.

Could be the Copious amount of drugs he uses.Have you seen the truth about him yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rninY2aKbd5km7c

He shakes in other interviews too! Especially the one where he was surprised with Mark Hamill - so I think nerves!

People always say he seems just like Ben Wyatt in real life, but when I watch interviews with him, I see so many more parallels with Henry Pollard from Party Down.

Every time I see Adam Scott in something it's a pay-off for his Party Down character

We just finished party down a month ago, I am so excited to hear they're coming back, what good timing, the algorithm knows all

[@BrandonStonerAEP]

Party Down is coming back? Hell yeah!

[@draxtv7907]

As someone who works in the film industry... and hit the ground running 6 months after "Covid Classic".... It's been SO weird on set working with other people and actors and like being covered up 99.9% of the time that when you actually see someone's face (at lunch or wherever there is a safe space to unmask) it's jarring. You have this like mental image of what the person looks like without PPE but then you see them without it and you're like WHAAAA that's what they really look like!?!? So kudos to Adam Scott for telling it like it really is on set lol

[@phriedokra6158]

Well unmasked faces were the norm for 2020 years dear....

[@baberebellion9531]

.... the sane ones who passed the IQ test

[@paulgilbert2506]

I work in health care so when I have gone to new facilities after COVID hit and have gotten to know people it is with the mask on. And then there comes that day when you first see them without it and I totally get it. It can be a little weird. This does not happen at all when you have gotten to know someone without the mask because you are used to the "whole face." What I have discovered is that the upper half of peoples faces are usually more attractive. When I finally see the lower half many times its like "Yikes!" Every once in a while I see someone with a nice lower face and I want to complement them on it. But that would just be weird to say "Wow... you have a really nice lower face!"

[@dawnieb.7394]

@@phriedokra6158 You don't always work with the same people on different sets, dear... the OP probably met a lot of people for the first time when they were wearing masks. No need to snark.
