Memories from the Set: Adam Scott Reminisces about "[I]Six Feet Under/I]"
by Megan Masters
7/5/13
Up until fairly recently, Adam Scott lived a very dramatic life… on screen, at least.
The "Parks and Recreation" star — who nowadays is known for his memorable comedic turns in projects like "Party Down", Step Brothers and the Web series-turned-E! hit "Burning Love" – was once, for lack of a better term, quite the drama king.
From crippling injuries on "ER" to unexpectedly career-defining roles on short-lived sudsers like "Wasteland" to unrequited love on "Six Feet Under", the early ’90s section of Scott’s resume is filled with heart-wrenching performances.
It wasn’t until the late 2000s that Scott found his groove as a go-to guy for all things funny.
At TVLine’s request, Scott offered up behind-the-scenes insights on an abundance of his pre-"Parks" performances.
"Six Feet Under":
For Scott, being cast on the HBO drama as a love interest for Michael C. Hall's leading man was pretty major.
"It was like having a part in a big movie if you got on Six Feet Under," he shares. "You know how I got that role? It was me, Michael C. Hall and Jeremy Sisto testing for the role that Michael ultimately got... He and I got to know each other a little bit [during the casting process], and then six months later, they had me come in to play his boyfriend for two episodes."
