Actor Adam Scott On ‘Severance’

Scott is known for TV comedies like Parks and Recreation and Party Down, the drama series Big Little Lies, and the film Step Brothers. Now Scott stars in the Apple TV+ series Severance, which gives a sci-fi take on work-life balance. He plays a man who’s chosen to have a chip implanted in his brain to separate his work life from his home life. “I now have no real separation, nor have I ever,” he says of his own work as an actor.
