Adam Scott's previous credits include the sitcom Parks and Recreation, Big Little Lies and the cult favorite Party Down. He says that unlike the experience of his Severance character, in his line of business there's very little space between what he does and who he is.
In the Apple TV+ sci-fi drama, now in its second season, Scott plays a man who has a chip implanted in his brain that allows him to sever his work and home lives. Originally broadcast April 6, 2022.
