Where Are The Cast Of Parks And Recreation Today?
Following his starring role as Leslie Knope's geeky partner, Ben Wyatt in "Parks and Recreation," Adam Scott seems to have popped up everywhere! From 2016 to 2018, Scott had a guest role as Trevor in NBC's "The Good Place," and in 2017, he made a cameo in the highly acclaimed film "The Disaster Artist."
In 2022, Scott began starring as Mark Scout in the Apple TV+ science fiction thriller series "Severance," which premiered on February 18. The show's first season was filmed during the COVID-19 lockdowns, adding an extra element of difficulty to an already heavy show concept. Speaking to NPR about filming "Severance" during the pandemic, Scott said, "Everybody was really sealed off and isolated. I would shoot the show, [then] get in a van, drive for 40 minutes to this apartment I was staying in, sit there by myself and eat, sleep, [then] get up, get back in a van, go there [and] shoot this crazy show."
Outside of acting, Scott co-hosts the comedy podcast "U Talkin' U2 To Me" alongside Scott Aukerman, which launched in February 2014. Each episode is dedicated to discussing the work of the band U2, though the topic is generally just used as a jumping-off point for improvised comedy. In 2018, the pair launched another podcast of the same format titled "R U Talkin' R.E.M. Re: Me?" and in 2020, they moved on to their current podcast, "U Talkin' Talking Heads 2 My Talking Head."
