About this episode
Andrew Scott joins the show to talk about his role in the limited series, Ripley . Based on Patricia Highsmith’s bestselling novels, the series follows Tom Ripley (Scott), a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York, who is hired by a wealthy man to travel to Italy to try to convince his vagabond son to return home. Tom's acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder. Scott looks back on his initial reaction to the scripts, speaks openly about the challenges of playing such a deeply isolated character, digs into a few of the series' most captivating visual details, and shares what it was like to collaborate with his co-stars Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn. He also reflects on his early journey as an actor, explains how an experience on his first film taught him about leading with kindness while on set, and shares that he's keen to take on a rom-com or musical next.
