Brie Larson and Andrew Scott Get Honest About Playing Iconic Characters and Struggling Through ‘Lessons of Chemistry’: ‘I Felt Very Lost With It’


Brie Larson and Andrew Scott discuss his remake of 'Ripley' on Netflix and her Apple TV+ limited series 'Lessons in Chemistry.'

Both shows originate from books — Patricia Highsmith’s classic thriller and Bonnie Garmus’ 2022 bestseller, respectively — and though their characters are very different (Tom Ripley is a grifter turned murderer; Elizabeth Zott is a thwarted physicist), both stand apart from society, looking in from the outside. The kind of stuff that Tom Ripley, I suppose, is famous for as an iconic literary character — “Is he a psychopath?” or “Is he a murderer?” or whatever. 1, I adored the film “The Talented Mr. Ripley” — the Minghella movie with Matt Damon and Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow and all those amazing people.
