Memories from the Set: Adam Scott Reminisces about "ER"

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.





"ER":

One of Scott's first jobs ever found him face-to-face with a then on-the-cusp TV star, George Clooney.

"It was the first season of ER, so it was a pretty big," he recalls. "Everyone was discovering it, and George Clooney was on the cover of TV Guide as this new star. I was sitting outside waiting to work and he was playing basketball with a bunch of dudes. I remember just thinking, 'God, this dude is on the cover of TV Guide! He just looks like he doesn't care.'"

Adds Scott with a laugh: "If I was on the cover of a magazine, I'd be celebrating."
