Adam Scott on Full Frontal Nudity and more in, The Overnight

Adam Scott on Full Frontal Nudity and more in, The Overnight

Adam Scott is one of those laid back, humble actors who doesn't take anything for granted. He’s one of those guys that when you say his name you may not be entirely familiar, but as soon as you see his face you definitely know you’ve seen him in something. I became a huge fan of Adam Scott’s after being introduced to his hilarious cable TV series, Party Down about an offbeat catering company. That series also starred Jane Lynch and LIzzy Caplan and it was where Scott began to really hone his comedic chops. However, having been in the business for over twenty years people didn't really start noticing his talents until he hit the big time as one of the stars of the popular television series, Parks and Recreation opposite Amy Poehler.
