Adam Scott has been a familiar face since the 90s, popping up in everything from Hellraiser IV: Bloodline to Star Trek: First Contact, and comedies including Knocked Up and Step Brothers. You might remember him \u2013 and his beard \u2013 as the smarmy boss sparring with Ben Stiller in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (\u201cI was saying you know who looks good in a beard? Dumbledore. Not you\u201d), or meddling with timelines in Hot Tub Time Machine 2.<\/p>\n
It was his role as state auditor Ben Wyatt in Parks and Recreation, that made him indispensable: the anxious policy wonk turned devoted husband to Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). Fans will have their own favourite Ben moments \u2013 from the two-second stop-motion film that took weeks to make<\/a>, to the invention of the Cones of Dunshire board game and his earnest devotion to Game of Thrones and 90s alt-rockers Letters to Cleo.<\/p>\n Since Parks and Rec, he has moved between comedy and drama on the small screen \u2013 from a demon in The Good Place to a political operative in Veep \u2013 before taking the lead in Severance, the unnerving workplace drama that has become one of Apple TV\u2019s most talked-about hits. His film work has continued, including Madame Web alongside Dakota Johnson, and as an absent father in Stephen King\u2019s The Monkey.<\/p>\n His long-running U Talkin\u2019\u2026 podcast series is also worth a listen, in which he obsessively deep-dives into bands including U2, REM and Talking Heads. He\u2019s also prone to the occasional burst of fandom himself \u2013 like when he met his hero Mark Hamill on Jimmy Kimmel<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now he returns in supernatural horror Hokum, and is here to take your questions; please get them in by 3pm BST this Thursday 16 April and we\u2019ll publish his responses in our reader interview series.<\/p>\n Hokum is in cinemas 1 May<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adam Scott has been a familiar face since the 90s, popping up in everything from Hellraiser IV: Bloodline…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-399809","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
