Adam Scott Says Daughter Had to Watch His ‘Office’ Audition Tape in Acting Class: “What Not to Do”
Adam Scott said his unsuccessful audition for The Office was used as a “what not to do” example in his daughter’s summer acting class in New York. The episode amused Scott but embarrassed his daughter, particularly because the teacher initially did not realise she was his child.
The teacher compared Scott’s audition with John Krasinski’s, who won the role of Jim Halpert, and asked the class why Krasinski got the part while Scott did not. Scott later worked with The Office writers Mike Schur and Greg Daniels on Parks and Recreation, and said he is currently filming Severance’s third season, though he could not share plot or release-date details.
- Scott’s Office audition became an acting-class cautionary example.
- His daughter was mortified when her class watched it.
- Scott is filming Severance’s third season.
