Keri Russell and Scott Speedman on Nearly 30 Years of ‘Felicity’ and Friendship, From His Last-Minute Audition to Her Regrets: ‘Why Didn’t I Have More Fun?’
Keri Russell and Scott Speedman join Variety's 'Actors on Actors' ahead of the 25th anniversary of 'Felicity.'
Keri Russell and Scott Speedman are three years shy of their 30th anniversary — as friends and, of course, cast members of the ’90s primetime drama “Felicity.” The J.J. Abrams-created series — which aired for four seasons, from 1998 to 2002 — would come to define The WB (the now-defunct network that made the era’s definitive young adult programming, like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “7th Heaven”). It also catapulted Russell and Speedman into overnight stardom, launching two careers that now intersect once more as she rules a fictional American embassy in the U.K. on Netflix’s “The Diplomat” and he heals bones and breaks hearts on the long-running “Grey’s Anatomy.” Not everything has changed though. Sports training takes so much energy, and everything is so muscular, but acting feels like — at least in my experience — that you must be much looser.
