Adam Scott Praises His 'Big Little Lies' On-Screen Wife Reese Witherspoon

Adam Scott poses for pictures in a pyschedelic-lighting shoot for Rogue Magazine.

The 44-year-old opened up about the success of his hit HBO show Big Little Lies. Here’s what he said about working with it’s star-studded cast:

On working with Reese Witherspoon: “I was looking to try something different, specifically finding something pushing a little away from the comedy realm and then this show popped up. I actually reached out to Reese after I saw Wild, because I found that movie so moving and so beautifully shot and edited and her performance was astounding. So it was kind of a wish list group of people and luckily I got the gig, so if that’s all that came from this, that’s more than enough, just the experience of doing it. I’m really happy that people liked it.”

On finding success later in his career: “It took me a while to really find my place and I was grateful for that, I know that if things happened quickly for me back when I started out, when I was in my early twenties, I would have squandered it. I wouldn’t have squandered it on limos and cocaine, it would have been squandered on inexperience and the fact that I wasn’t ready yet, I wasn’t particularly good yet or not good enough. So it took a while for me to find what I’m good at and where to kind of plot myself when I’m most relaxed, comfortable and ready to do my best. So yeah there were many years of smaller parts, I’m proud of all that. For me, I’m happy that it ended up taking so long.”
