An American television and film actor, producer, and screenwriter for the TV series "The Greatest Event in Television History," in which he also directed. Winner of the 2009 Ewwy Award and nominee for the Independent Spirit Awards. Net worth: $8 million.

Childhood: Santa Cruz

In the family of schoolteachers Anne and Douglas Scott from the Californian city of Santa Cruz, there were already two almost grown-up children, Shannon and David, when their third child was born in the spring of 1973. They named the newborn Adam Paul.

From his vivid childhood memories, the younger Scott always recalls how intelligent and serious David was, so much like himself, and how determined his sister was in her studies.

Adam, however, loved to impersonate others the most, dreaming from a young age of becoming a famous actor. When the older siblings were graduating from school, Adam had just entered first grade. By that time, their parents had already retired and tried their best to guide their youngest. But Adam was firm in his desire to act in movies.

Youth: Los Angeles

To achieve his goal, Scott enrolled in the Los Angeles Academy of Dramatic Arts, where he received his specialized higher education. He enjoyed participating in theatrical productions and student sketches at the university. He was good at harmlessly impersonating his classmates and teachers.

Adam sometimes joked that if David inherited all the intelligence from their parents, he got a full dose of humor. After graduating from the Academy, Scott decided that television would be the best springboard to achieve his childhood dream, so he started working there immediately after university.

Career: Master of TV Shows

Adam Scott's acting career began with series "Boy Meets World," "Dead at 21" and "ER."

Producers noticed the talented actor with a cute appearance, and Adam successfully starred in popular series like "NYPD Blue" (Gordon Puterbaugh), and "Party of Five" (Josh Macon). He also had a small role as the servant Jacques in "Hellraiser: Bloodline."

Soon, the actor transitioned from supporting roles to more significant ones in films like "Six Feet Under" (Ben Cooper), "Murder One" (Sydney Schneider), and "CSI: Miami" (Danny Cato).

Scott became recognizable and popular after his lead role as Henry Pollard in the comedy series "Party Down," the character of Ben from "Parks and Recreation," and the role of Derek Huff in "Step Brothers." In the latter, Adam's co-star was Will Ferrell.

One part of consciousness activates at work, while the other at the office exit. Neither part is aware of the other's existence. The main character, Mark Scout, begins to suspect that there is life beyond his isolated office world.

In 2024, the actor appeared in the feature film "Madame Web," playing Ben, young Peter Parker's uncle, and the second season of "Severance" premiered in early 2025. Scott did not hide his excitement about the script:
One of the reasons I liked it is because it didn't remind me of anything else. It was exactly what I look for as a viewer. I love watching 'The Twilight Zone,' 'Lost,' and 'Black Mirror,' but I've never been part of something like this.
