It's pretentious?

Sure.

Hipstery?

Fine.

I'm too old to care.

Was Adam Scott really in Jumanji and The Truman Show?

I looked him up on iTunes and it said, under movies,

her is in was Jumanji and The Truman Show.

I don't star star star star believe it.

Well listen, I'm not in either of those movies.

So yeah, you really shouldn't

star star star star believe it.

Do you think Adam Scott and Anna Kendrick

could pull off being siblings?

Look at those mouths.

Is it the mouths that do it?

I always thought it was like

our similar eyebrows or something.

Reddit.

(soft piano music)

If The Good Place is set in the same universe

as Parks and Rec and Trevor is portrayed by Adam Scott,

could that mean that Ben from Parks and Rec is dead?

Sure.

Quora.

(soft piano music)

Where can I get the jacket Adam Scott

wears on Parks and Recreation?

I wore a series of jackets,

so I'm not exactly sure.

Next.

Is Adam Scott, actor, liked or hated by the people?

I don't know,

but now that you asked, I'm starting to question.

How did Adam Scott land the role

of Ben in Parks and Recreation?

Well, I originally auditioned for

the pilot of Parks and Recreation.

I was probably too excited

because I was a huge fan of The Office, of course.

I remember getting the audition

and just working so hard on it,

overcooking it, and getting in there,

and just being stiff and not funny.

After not getting that my friends called and said

do you wanna do this Party Down thing we're doing.

So I got to go to that show.

And because of Party Down,

Mike Schur called me again a year and a half later

and invited me to join Parks and Rec.

So it was weirdly all worked out.

YouTube.

(soft piano music)

I think my kids were kinda like

Daddy what the (bleep).

(audience laughing)

He looks like the kid from Jumanji

when the kid cheats and turns into a monkey.

(laughing)

From the book or the movie?

I don't know.

Wikipedia.

Early life.

Scott was born in Santa Cruz, California, the son of Anne.

Anne Quartara?

Yeah, my mom's name is Anne, A-N-N-E,

but her maiden name was Quartararo.

Which is Q-U-A-R-T-A-R-A-R-O.

I'm not sure what this one is.

And Douglas Scott.

My dad's name is actually Dougald.

I think Dougald Scott is the most Scottish name possible.

I don't think you could get more

Scottish than Dougald Scott.

He is one-quarter Sicilian

(laughs)

on his mother's side.

How do they know this?

He has two older siblings, Shannon and David.

Very true.

Scott has said that David look like me

but is far more cerebral and inherited

the intellect of our parents.

That's a really sweet thing for me to say.

More Twitter. (bird chirping)

Is that Adam Scott's real singing voice

in Big Little Lies in the finale?

'Cause I thought it would be much, much deeper.

It was not me singing.

I wish I could sing like that fella sang.

I should find out who that was.

(mouse clicking)

You mean to tell me, Mr. Adam Scott,

you were on Boy Meets World?

Well son of a Topanga,

slap me sideways and call me Griff.

That's funny.

One of my first jobs was Boy Meets World.

I first played Teen with Guitar

and then a year later, I played Griff for three episodes.

Three episodes and I get asked about it every day.

More Quora.

Who is the best Adam Scott; the golfer or the actor?

I'm gonna say the golfer.

I think he's probably kind of

all-around just a bit better.

Is that guy, Adam Scott, Ashton Kutcher's brother?

I feel like that is news that would have been out by now.

Had it been true.

(laughs)

What if right now I was like, yeah, that's my brother.

We grew up together, that's my brother.

Submitted.

More Yahoo Answers.

What is the height and weight of actor Adam Scott?

I'm five foot nine and weigh 150 pounds.

I wanna know what weight to get to so I can look like him.

God, he must drive the women crazy.

(laughs)

Good Lord.

I'm 5'10, but I'm not exactly sure how much I weigh.

And I do not drive the women crazy.

It's just not something that happens.

(mouse clicking)

Ya know, this was fun, I am a different person, now.

I shedded three skins.

Not literally, like spiritually.

Now, when I close the computer,

we all, everyone, are going to cease to exist.

Okay?

It's all gonna black out as soon as I close this,

it's all over, goodbye. (laptop lid clicks)
