Ben Stiller has expressed his appreciation for others, and he’s not shy about it. The veteran star discussed working with Adam Scott on the Apple TV+ show “Severance” and compared the experience to their previous collaboration on the film “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”.
When Scott spoke to a private news channel about the 2013 film, he said, “It was so fun and I loved working with Ben.” He shared that when “Severance” came up years later, he eagerly jumped at the chance to work with the actor again.
The “Night at the Museum” star said, “I don’t think I ever imagined that we’d be doing a television series together.” He expressed his enjoyment in working alongside the “Parks & Recreation” star.
According to sources, the veteran star revealed that he had been a fan of Scott even before they worked together on the 2013-released project. Stiller shared that after reading the Apple TV+ show’s pilot script, he immediately thought of Scott as the “first and only thought” for the character Mark.
He shared that “it had also been more enjoyable doing their show than the previously mentioned film they did together. He explained, “Because it’s gone on longer and we’ve been able to get to know each other and work together as producers, and it’s been great.”
In the show, Scott plays Mark, a character who works at Lumon Industries and undergoes the “severance” procedure, which causes him to lose his memory of his time in the office and develop a split personality. Stiller directs and serves as an executive producer of the hit show.
