The blah-blah-ologist

“At some point, we’re going to discover something that 37-year-old Adam Scott can’t do. I mean, it’s not fair to the rest of us otherwise, right? He’s handled serious drama in HBO’s “Tell Me You Love Me,” and his terrific performance in the woefully underseen indie “The Vicious Kind.” He can carry off comedy both gonzo — stealing the show in “Step Brothers,” his coke-addled cameo in “Eastbound and Down” — and grounded — his subtle TV work on “Party Down” and “Parks and Recreation” displays supernaturally good comic timing. Hell, the guy can even fire a shotgun while piloting a jetski, as in the recent horror “Piranha 3D.” It’s somewhat baffling that Scott hasn’t made the A-list yet, considering all that, his leading-man good looks and the fact that he’s been working steadily for over 15 years. He can’t stay Hollywood’s best kept secret for too much longer though — he’s in the tantalizing cast of “My Idiot Brother” alongside Paul Rudd, Zooey Deschanel, Elizabeth Banks, Rashida Jones, Emily Mortimer, T.J. Miller and Steve Coogan, and in Jennifer Westfeldt’s comedy “Friends With Kids” alongside Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig. It can only be a matter of time before someone gives him a high-profile lead, and if they don’t, we’ll just have to do it ourselves.” | The Playlist (Ten Actors We Expect Great Things From)
