20 Questions On Deadline Podcast: Andrew Scott Talks Embodying A Psychopath For 'Ripley', His Love Of Musicals & Grieving His "Total Hero" Mother

In this episode we dig into Scott’s early start in a cereal commercial and his job in a bizarre supermarket, along with the “empathy game” that is acting, and how it cured him of a childhood speech impediment. Based on the novels by Patricia Highsmith, Anthony Minghella’s 1999 film version, The Talented Mr. Ripley, starred Matt Damon and Jude Law. Scott explains why this new series written and directed by Steven Zaillian stood out to him as a fresh and different take on the story, and how he approached the mindset of a psychopath.
