Adam Scott says his daughter’s acting class watched his previously unsuccessful audition tape for NBC’s “The Office.” Scott recounts that when his daughter’s acting teacher assigned students to compare audition material, the lesson used Scott’s own audition as an example of what not to do. The “Severance” star describes the teacher framing the tape for discussion in terms of why another actor got the role.
Scott made the comments while promoting or discussing “Severance,” including references to its upcoming season three. According to the accounts, the class was shown a side-by-side comparison in which Scott’s audition was contrasted with John Krasinski’s successful “Office” audition tape. Both outlets report that Scott relays the story as a personal anecdote connected to his broader work on the workplace drama series.
