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,\u201d Scott says. \u201cAnd 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.""\n\nIn this episode of \u201cIn the Envelope,\u201d Scott walks us through the highs and lows of his entire career, from early roles in movies like \u201cHellraiser: Bloodline,\u201d to comedic breakouts \u201cParty Down,\u201d \u201cStep Brothers,\u201d and \u201cParks & Recreations,\u201d all the way up to his dynamic dual-sided turn in Apple TV+\u2019s \u201cSeverance.\u201d\n\nBrought to you by UCLA's Professional Programs at the School of Theater, Film & Television.\n---\nBackstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
