Andrew Scott Brings Famed Grifter to Life in Netflix’s ‘Ripley’ Trailer


Andrew Scott is bringing Tom Ripley to life in Netflix’s ‘Ripley’ series

“It’s always weird finding out what people see in you, particularly when it’s a character like Ripley,” Scott joked to Vanity Fair in February 2024 while discussing his casting as the sociopathic con artist. This adaptation refers to Ripley as “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,” according to Netflix’s official description. The Netflix adaptation of the project was inspired by the 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley, which starred Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law.
