Adam Scott: Teaching 'What Not to Do' Acting
14 Aug
Summary
- Adam Scott's audition for The Office was used as a teaching example.
- The instructor did not initially know Scott's daughter was in class.
- Scott's daughter was embarrassed by the audition's negative review.
Actor Adam Scott recently shared an amusing anecdote from his daughter's acting class. While Scott was in New York filming season 3 of 'Severance,' his teenage daughter enrolled in summer acting classes.
On the first day of one class, the instructor presented audition tapes for 'The Office,' contrasting Adam Scott's with John Krasinski's. The goal was to analyze why Krasinski secured the role. Scott jokingly remarked on being a 'what not to do' example in a prestigious setting.
Unbeknownst to the instructor, Scott's daughter was present and became visibly mortified. The teacher, who had no prior knowledge of her connection to Scott, later approached her, confused by her reaction. Upon learning her last name and connecting the dots, he expressed immense regret for the situation, which Scott found quite entertaining.
