For 'Severance' Star Adam Scott, Work & Life Can't Be Separated

Oh, man, you know, I couldn't believe it when Ben told me he was going to be in the show. And he and John Turturro are very close friends. And so John really called him up and I mean, he's such a profound presence on screen for my whole life as far as long as I've been into movies and TV shows, which is essentially all I thought about and was interested in as a kid and teenager and adult.

We had a scene where we're all down in his part of Lumen. Anyway, it was my first real scene with Christopher Walken, and I was pretty freaked out because I have to give this speech in front of he, John Turturro, and the rest of the cast that's in that scene, Zach Cherry and Britt Lauer. But it was Christopher Walken and John Turturro that I was a little freaked out about because

And I was embarrassed because these guys are watching me all day do like a C plus, right? And I could not get over the hump. I couldn't figure it out. And I forget what it was, but something about it just made sense. And maybe it was the fact that I was doing it all day, but it finally kind of fell into place.

And at least it's not like I go back and watch it and think it's incredible or anything, but something about it just made sense. And it came out and the ball at least fell into the pocket, but I was still unsure about it. And after we finished shooting, we were back in this other room just sort of chit-chatting.

And I remember Christopher Walken walked up behind me and just grabbed my elbow as he was walking by and sort of just gave it a bit of a squeeze and a shake. And like a hand on the shoulder. And I just took it as this, I guess, a moment of approval or of good job, maybe. That's how I took it. And I can't tell you what that meant to me. Just that little moment from him was kind of everything.
