The iconic 1990s movie series Adam Scott couldn’t get cast in: “Didn’t get any of them”
Adam Scott says he auditioned for all the Scream films in the 1990s but never landed a role. The missed auditions came early in a career that later brought him recognition in comedy, drama and horror.
The 1996 film’s success led to an original trilogy released over four years, with many roles across its casts. Scott may have auditioned to play Billy Loomis, though he told Glamour he could not clearly remember; the part went to Skeet Ulrich. Scott later became widely known through Parks and Recreation and went on to star in Severance and horror films.
In short
- Adam Scott auditioned for all the Scream films.
- He did not get a part in the series.
- His career later spanned comedy, drama and horror.
Explained simply
Scream is a horror film series that began with a 1996 film about people targeted by a masked killer known as Ghostface. Its mix of suspense, violence and references to other horror films helped make it a hit, leading to two sequels released by 2000.
The first three films featured a range of young actors, including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette. Skeet Ulrich played Billy Loomis, a student close to the central group; Adam Scott later became known for roles in comedy, drama and horror.
