Adam Scott, known for his comedic talent in series like Parks and Recreation and movies like Step Brothers, has made a remarkable turn in his career by starring in the science fiction series Severance on Apple TV Plus. A turn almost as big as the ones this fascinating series takes. This drama has captured the attention of both the public and critics, partly thanks to the complexity of the character Scott plays, Mark Scout. In the series, Scott presents two contrasting facets of his character: the cynical and grieving Outie and the more innocent and romantic Innie.
