James Bond Villain Actor Admits He Wasn’t Good

Andrew Scott played a very different character in Fleabag opposite Phoebe Waller-Bridge, but those gray areas were still at full strength. He played a hot priest whom she fell head over heels for, and there was plenty of onscreen tension about whether their feelings for one another could override his religious vows. 

We’d love to see him in more roles like that, and given the actor’s stated preference for playing more nuanced characters, we can only hope future studios and directors can make better use of the underappreciated Scott. In our always humble opinion, he might just be one of the greatest living character actors in the business.
