Ripley star Andrew Scott cuts a dapper figure alongside Dakota Fanning at the LA premiere of new Netflix series as critics laud his 'outstanding' and 'magnificent' performance


The actor, 47, beamed as he posed with his co-star Dakota Fanning , after receiving rave reviews for his performance in the show.

Set in the 1960s, it follows calculating grifter Tom Ripley as he is hired by the wealthy Herbert Greenleaf to travel to Italy in a last ditch bid to convince his wayward, jazz loving son Dickie to return home. The actress stars in Ripley as wealthy socialite, Marge Sherwood, famously played by Gwyneth Paltrow in the 1999 film (pictured on show with Andrew and Johnny Flynn) 'Andrew Scott is a magnificent Tom Ripley, inhabiting that compellingly ambivalently malevolent outsider character so well... Dakota Fanning however can’t compete for a second with Gwyneth’s Paltrow’s flawless Marge Sherwood.'
