The Q Interview

How Adam Scott found his dream job in the dystopian workplace of Severance

Adam Scott has taken on a lot of roles that mean a lot to different people. Whether it's the despondent artist/caterer in the cult hit sitcom Party Down, the nerdy romantic Ben Wyatt in Parks and Recreation, or belting out Sweet Child o' Mine with his family in Step Brothers, Scott tends to build intense fandoms everywhere he goes. Now, he stars in the new Apple TV+ series Severance as a man whose memories from his professional and personal lives are surgically divided. He told Tom Power why the role (if not the job) is his dream come true — and why that still didn't stop him from sleeping in for one of the biggest days of filming. He also talked about the intense fandoms of his work, and why as an intense fan himself, he understands where it comes from.
