After Hot Priest and Hamlet, Acclaimed Actor Andrew Scott Takes a Dark Turn in ‘Black Mirror’
Bob Verini In more than 20 years of acting, Dublin-born Andrew Scott has amassed a resume whose depth and breadth are surely the envy of his peers.Acclaimed TV roles range from the drolly comic, Golden Globe-nominated “Hot Priest” of BBC Three’s “Fleabag,” to the psychopathic Jim Moriarty in BBC’s “Sherlock.” Scott received a BIFA Supporting Actor award as a taciturn bibliophile in the feature film “Pride,” and an Olivier Award nomination for the most un-taciturn Prince of Denmark in a West End “Hamlet.”He’s again enjoying small-screen kudos as the central figure in “Smithereens,” a season five episode of the Emmy-winning anthology “Black Mirror.” The thriller is the subject of a Netflix “Scene Stealers” video conversation with Variety
