Memories from the Set: Adam Scott Reminisces about "[I]Eastbound & Down/I]"

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.





"Eastbound & Down":

Scott couldn't stop pinching himself during his two episodes spent on the Danny McBride-fronted HBO comedy.

"We shot the Season 2 episodes in Puerto Rico, and we were in this baseball stadium -- just me, Danny and Matthew McConaughey — doing a scene," he laughs. "I was just thinking, 'I'm in Puerto Rico with McBride and McConaughey — what the hell is happening?!' Those guys are the best. They're hilarious and great writers, too."
