Amy Poehler about Adam Scott, Yes Please (via rockandrec)
Adam Scott and Amy Poehler talking about each other at the A.C.O.D. Premiere, Sundance Film Festival 2013
“He loves to talk about acting and he’ll just, in the middle of the scene, stop and say, ‘Wait a minute, I need to get back to the craft.’ And I’ll say, ‘Okay man, whatever you need.’ And he’ll just, like, pace around a room or he’ll go punch a wall. You know, a lot of people don’t know that he used to be an acting teacher. He taught in his basement for, like, fifteen years before he made it in Hollywood — or ‘Holly Weird’, as he likes to call it. And man, he just loves to talk about craft, process. Every morning, you’ll be, like, ‘Hey, Adam!’ And he’ll be like, ‘No, no, no.’ I’ll be, like, ‘Oh, sorry. Hey, Ben.’” - Amy Poehler about Adam Scott
Poehler and Scott, who star on “Parks and Recreation” as the newly engaged Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt, enjoy an easy rapport with one another. (Their timing was so impeccable that Poehler almost had me believing “A.C.O.D.” co-writer Ben Karlin spent time on “The Smothers Brothers Show,” even though that program went off the air five years before he was born.) In fact, I wound up feeling a bit like a third wheel — not that it mattered. x
