You might expect that a man who has Emmy Award nominations to his name, appeared in the greatest sitcoms of the 21st century, and worked with Martin Scorsese would be pretty confident about his talents. Not Adam Scott. In a 2022 interview with The Guardian, the actor admitted that despite racking up more than 100 screen credits, he feels the same way that he did when he only had a few: "I started out doing background work in the early '90s. After that, I got little two-line jobs on 'ER,' 'Boy Meets World,' stuff like that. But I still have the brain of the person I was. I'm still carrying the same self-doubt, the same sense of rabid insecurity." It was this insecurity that made shooting "Severance" all the more intense: "I certainly felt the weight and the pressure to make sure the show didn't crash," Scott said. He had felt that in prior projects, his performance had been less important.
In 2023, the actor was invited to chat with Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong on "Pod Meets World." When asked about his exit from the show "Boy Meets World," Scott didn't remember much, but said, "As a kind of self-hating actor, I just figured, 'Oh, they finally figured out that I can't do this.'" About halfway through the episode, he opened up about attempting to give Rider Strong a hug one night when Strong pulled away and stared at him. "Literally, this has been tugging at me for 29 years," Scott said, only for Strong not to remember!
